I did that. But it really makes sense for the >R250 users to get the
new r300 drivers. But at the the moment mesa 6.5.0 doesn't build
idirectfb which is confirmed from Brian Paul. You can build the dri
in mesa 6.5.0 with make linux-dri. If one is interested to test a
ati-1-0-branch.deb:

deb http://www.lxtec.de/debarchiv binary-powerpc/
deb-src http://www.lxtec.de/debarchiv sources/

Please notice to use it at your own risk.
