Re: new G4 dual 1 gig is here - how to install?

BTW I just finished building XF4.2.0 in under 45 min from scratch with
just one CPU on my new box and fired it up and it works just fine out of
the box.

We really need to write a USB daemon to allow the "Brightness" button to
work on the DFP monitors from Apple.

There are at least 2 nice daemons beeing worked on that currently
only handle recent laptop keys but those will be improved over time.
We also need a better API that what the kernel currently provides for
the brightness, especially when dealing with X as it is not safe to
let the kernel tap the card registers the way it does currently while
X is doing the same below.

The only way I could seem to reduce the brightness was to use the Gamma
0.50 setting in the XF86Config-4 file to reduce the gamma

Ani/Ben I will try to send you whatever patches are needed for radeonfb.c
for the 7500 (once I clean up my hacks) so that you can see what I had to
do.

Now on to SMP kernel testing!

I'm still working on proper L3 support, I'll push when it's ready.

Ben.
