Hello

you can grab the source tree of the driver by doing

git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati

after to get the update, tou can do git pull

I have tried to test the driver on an iBook. Unfortunately I got the error 
that the connection table for ibook is unknown.
I have put

Option          "MacModel"              "ibook"

in my xorg.conf
the error was exactly :
(EE) RADEON(0): Invalid ConnectorTable option: ibook

Did I miss something ?
I have compiled the driver with at least commit 
12187a6aa93049c002a4171344d03c713f7f3c5d

How can I check that the compiled driver has the ConnectorTable built in ?

thanks for your work
and thanks in advance for any help
