I'm copying this to the xpert@xfree86.org list since it is relevant 
there as well. Hopefully it's all legible.

Thanks very much for your response. I hope you had a good vacation (or 
are still having!)

I checked out the xsrc set from /cvsroot and applied the patch. From 
what I could tell I fixed the appropriate lines in the macppcPci.c to 
use the Bandit pci bridge.

I had to fix a typo in one of the freetype2 headers, and then everything 
compiled and installed ok. Then...

$XFree86 -configure

...which produced an XF86Config.new. Then I ran XFree86 against that 
config file. Here's the output...
