Most of us at the office are really interested in getting accelerated 3D
into YDL, however there is still some problems with the DRI/DRM and the
AGP gart stuff on PPC Linux. I'm hoping to have some more time before we
finish YDL 2.0 to look into this deeper, but I can't make any promises
on whether or not it'll be ready in time for our next release.
