As I understand, the sb600 series has the RS480 IGP, which is a stripped-down r300 (missing some TnL h/w, vertex shaders). The 2D parts of the Linux radeonfb look pretty similar between the r300 and the rs480, so I'd go with yes. No idea about anything newer... I can take a look if people are inte

I'll take a look to the lsub mirror. BTW, our main file server is pulling changes from our mirror (which is updated daily) and not directly from sources, and I did a pull something like two or three days ago and didn't see anything wrong. In any case, I'd wait for sources. We do use sources.lsub.
