X.org 6.8.2 with Radeon big-endian fix available in portage
Posted by: dholm on Friday, February 11, 2005 - 13:15
Submitted by dholm
X.org 6.8.2 was released yesterday and is available in portage now (in the '~ppc' profile). It also includes a patch that should fix the problems with the DRI Radeon driver on big-endian machines. The new Radeon driver should prove to be significantly faster than the old one, making most (open source) 3D games fully playable on the Pegasos II equipped with a Radeon 9x00.
To install X.org 6.8.2 on a stable profile system execute the following command:
echo "x11-base/xorg-x11 ppc" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Great work David!

Which machines are big- and little-endian?
