3d Accel works w/ r128 on my iBook Dual USB.
It was flaky in the past but seems stable w/ 2.4.18-pre7-ben0.
I built AGP (uninorth) and DRM as modules; Accel is only enabled at 16bit
Xfree video depth.
Xfree config is -stock- apart from video depth.
Doing anything like switching to a virtual console and back to X
hard-locks the machine, but it does that for me on x86, too ...
