Yes, however the driver is still being worked on. A ton of new glint code
was just committed to XFree86 CVS by Sven Luther, and this code (if it
compiles) will show up in v19. Consider trying that when I release it in
the next day or so.
OTOH, since it's Sven Luther code, it may not help you at all, or even make
things worse. >:-)
In the meantime, please tell us exactly which Permedia card you are using.
Get it from /var/log/XFree86.0.log and/or show us the appropriate line from
lspci.
