Hi there.
I have been getting some Oopses/stack traces when I try to use my iBook G4 (with an "ATI Technologies Inc M11 NV/FireGL Mobility T2e" card) and I enable KMS.
The userland here is Debian unstable with the DRM from experimental, but I am willing to test anything that you would like me to.
For example, attached is the last of a series of such Oopses that I got when I tried to test if a video was playing or not with mplayer.
I tried to use 2.6.39-rc{5,6}, but upon boot I get messages telling me that there were failures and that hardware acceleration will be disabled and I that I get is a desktop with colors distorted like if there were some endianness issues.
This is, BTW, part of my attempts to get Linux running well on PowerPC, with some of my logs (with photos) present at my homepage:

Please, if there is anything that I can provide to fix this, let me know and I will do my best.
Thanks, Rogério Brito.
