I'm using a Rage 128 Pro, but theoretically it would work, given the
Radeon shares the common platform :\

I'll grab the latest ofw_syscons.c - does it depend on any other kernel
stuff that's not in 7-STABLE that you know of?

Well that's always helpful to know :)

Where can I grab the source, and how do you recommend it be applied? :)


Also is there any way I can force the kernel to compile with certain
CFLAGS short of literally editing the Makefiles ? ( I know the kernel
strips out insane flags ) -  if I set CPUTYPE to 7400 i _will_ get an
inoperable kernel because gcc WILL assume altivec ... i need to either
force -mno-altivec or use a lower cputype like 750 (G3) .... mmmm ...
