I've found some radeonfb bugs causing all sort of colormap screwup using the Xserver on fbdev mode (or MacOnLinux). I'm currently working on fixing these, except a working version in my rsync tree real soon now (possibly this evening). Next step for me is to get X working with accel & UseFBDev at least. Full functionality (without UseFBDev, DRI, etc...) will have to wait for 4.2.0, but i'll see if I can get at least a 4.1.0 working with accel & usefbdev. Ben.
