I am using them currently. 3.3.6-8 to be precise. Seems to work fine on
my PowerBook, except that the FBDev server only plays nicely if you run
with DefaultColorDepth set to 15 or 24 (16 and 32 croak it). The Xpmac
server is supposed to work fine, though I haven't tried it.
I should also note that I am running 2.2.15pre4 and almost every other
package on my system was pulled from ruffpack-current. I couldn't say
for certain how the 3.3.6-8 rpms will work with older libraries and
such.

Haven't done anything with this.

For X, all I had to change was the DefaultColorDepth in XF86Config.
