Are there no other hardware without pci using the glint kernel ?

If i compile a kernel without pci support, would it show the bug ?

The truth is, i don't have enough space on my apus harddisk to do Xfree
compiles. Maybe i could try erasing all the disk, and doing a minimal install.

BTW, i will post a true bresenham accel fundtion for glint chips to
xfree-glint today, maybe you could try it out on the pm2. Or do you know of a
reason why the current accels only do 45° inclined lines ?
