I should have done this before reporting the bug of course, but as I had
vague memories of acceleration working when trying out an earlier live-
cd version of ubuntu "long ago", I downloaded the 5.04 Live CD and tried
it out. And it did indeed have working 3D-acceleration.
Comparing the logs seemed to point at the difference lying in 5.04 falling back
on pci for the dri, so I added:
Option "BusType" "PCI"
to my xorg.conf.
With this option added, 3D-acceleration (including compiz which I'm
using at the moment) seems to work just fine, and glxgears (the beloved
benchmarking tool ;) ) reports fps about 10 times higher than before.
So. Bug closed?
(is there even any use in reporting possibly ppc-specific bugs?)
