Hi,

Yesterday the last Xfree4.0 snapshot was released (xf3.9.18).  Because of all
of the hard work of Kostas integrating powerpc changes into the official xf 4.0
tree, the xf3918 snapshot almost builds out of the box and provides wonderful
Rage128 acceleration at 16bpp and 32bpp.

The only changes needed were to xfree86.cf to add the r128 module to those being
built on powerpc and a patch to lnxResource.c provided by Kostas.

  Although xfree86 will build (and mostly work) with the provided patch for
lnxResource.c, the patch *is not* correct for ppc, we need to get the info
needed for it at runtime (ioBase etc etc..). Having iobase setup correctly
will allow us to use quite a few unsupported for now drivers (S3 etc..)

Thanks,

Kevin
