[Mactel-linux-devel] Linux video drivers for intel macs.

[Miguel F. <mig...@gm...>]

Hi there,

Since two distrinct projects have successfully booted linux, using
slightly diffent aproaches, there are now at least to diferent hacks
to have video drivers on intel macs.

one is hacked vesafb that has become "imacfb", acording to
http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page
an another one is here:
http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/misc/linux/download/osxbook.com-iMac-x86-=
Linux.tar.bz2
In here:
http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/misc/linux/
the authors explain how they done it.. and compare approaches to the
mactel guys...

Is anyone working on recycling these hacks to something more generic
like suport for: intel iMacs and macbook pros..
Or mainline fixes needed for EFI + acpi + x86 ?

best regards,
