Speaking of X on the Powerbook, how does it handle video mirroring on
the DVI port?  The stock YDL 2.3 XFree86 (probably 4.2, the one that
would not support sleeping in any case) did mirror the display, no
problem.  XFree 4.3.0 (compiled from sources, does support sleeping
alright and also DRI) does not.

The kernel module (radeonfb) is alright, I can turn the CRT on and off
using both m6mirror and m7mirror, and I get a white screen when I turn
the thing on.  Further, I did try the old kernel under which mirroring
positively worked (it no longer does so with XFree86 4.3.0).  This
let me conclude that X is actually the culprit.

Is there any evidence that the CVS XFree86 restores such a
functionality?

System details: Tibook rev. III (Radeon Mobility M7), Linux
2.4.22-ben2, glibc 2.3.1 (stock YDL), GCC 3.3, XFree86 4.3.0 (compiled
from sources).

Any sugestion is appreciated.

Regards,
Stefan

P.S.  Anybody managed to make sound input work on the Tibook?  Pretty
please...
