No, I'm saying the 3.3.5-1.1 works better than 3.3.3.1-10, however neither work as well as the 3.3.5 from Tom Rini (just stole the binary from his .rpm). > A no, i see you are speaking about Xpmac doing it better than XF68_FBDev, this > simply mean that the linuxppc guys have worked more on this, and that there > was > no change to the fbdev to fix this problem. Please forward your complaints to > the linux-fbdev mailing list who know more about this. Well.. the linuxppc have worked more on this I assume, but Xpmac isn't really relevant here. I'm currently using the XF68_FBDev stolen from the .rpm mentioned above.
