[Mactel-linux-users] some good news?

Finally what might actually be some good news:

Jerome Glisse is one of (the main??) developer behind the open source
R500 driver so if he says he can get power management to work then I'm
prone to believe him.  From what I understand he also owns an MBP rev
2,2.

Has anyone tried out the open source driver yet?  Jerome's public post:

suggested that people should try to get involved but this seems a
little daunting and, more problematically, very time consuming and I
don't have much time.  Still, I might try and if anyone else wants to
try it might be useful to learn it together...

cheers,
