(Sorry, I forgot only fbdev list members have seen this.) Minor problems, such as: expose events don't lead to proper redraws, little 8-pixel-wide horizontal line artifacts appear and don't go away, some modes fail completely. no_accel -> no problem. Geert sent me info on how to try and fix these problems, I've tried but no useful results yet. http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fbdev@vuser.vu.union.edu/msg02291.html One other thing: Adam C Powell IV wrote: > * The dmasound_awacs hunk is from Ani Joshi; built as a module it > can't install without nvram, so drivers/sound/Config.in should make > Mac DMA sound depend on CONFIG_NVRAM.

With CONFIG_NVRAM, modprobe dmasound_awacs works, sound is good, and the gnome session works. I can't figure out how to make a proper patch to drivers/sound/dmasound/Config.in for this, because you'd need to dep_tristate for both CONFIG_SOUND and CONFIG_NVRAM. Or you could patch dmasound_awacs.c, wrapping the two NVRAM-dependent spots in #ifdef CONFIG_NVRAM (and setting a default volume if else). But that would allow CONFIG_DMASOUND_AWACS=y and CONFIG_NVRAM=m, which would fail to link. Any ideas? -Adam P.
