i got around to testing this myself.  i have a problem with X -configure
doesn't work because it tries to enable IO access via xf86EnableIO()
and the PCI_MAGIC_IO_RANGE code (ppc_video.c) but the screxf86Info.screenFd
is set to -1 so it doesn't work:

[   333.725] (WW) xf86EnableIO -1
[   333.725] (II) xf86EnableIO: ffffffff
[   333.726] (WW) Can't map IO space!
[   333.728] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for wsfb

but the old probe method doesn't do anything.


mac?  any ideas off hand?
