Aww, can't wait :) Btw, looks like the patch you sent contains changes that have been integrated post-2.6.9 (2.6.10-rc1) ? I tried 2.6.10-rc1 on my iBook G4 yesterday, and had video-related problems: when darkening the screen (using the Fn keys or by leaving the laptop alone enough time), the screen displays garbage at level 0 (instead of going black as previously), the sort of thing that happened to me when I messed with mach64 registers when working on mplayer. You know, screen goes progressively white, with beautiful color patterns expanding slowly all over the screen. (can't find an image on google, sorry). When re-enabling the screen, it's ok. I also got lots of gcc internal errors when compiling linux using 2.6.10-rc1, but that must be unrelated :) -- Colin
