Hmm, the patch /was/ committed. At least -current should work.

I have no idea. Did you enable sync in your kernel? I don't have any SCSI d=
evice here that tries to negotiate sync on its own so I can't test this cas=
e but it definitely works (for me) in the 'normal' case.

Getting the userland to something more recent is definitely a good idea, I'=
ll see if I can get my changes to XFree and ofb committed.=20

There's a driver in XFree86 that's declared beta for ages. No idea how well=
 it works, last time I looked the driver was pretty PC-centric, like most o=
f XFree.

More video RAM. XFree /likes/ offscreen buffers accessible by the blitter f=
or buffering bitmaps like patterns, glyphs, stuff behind windows, XRENDER a=
nd so on.

Shouldn't be too hard and I don't know what's really going wrong - the keyb=
oard codes should be the same for all platforms, thanks to wskbd but I had =
to xmodmap on every single one I tried ( macppc, sparc, sparc64 ) - only i3=
86 worked without it. XFree's keymaps are (almost) certainly not compiled i=
nto the Xserver so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to make up a =
wskbd map - /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb should be a good place to start.

have fun
