The hardware guide said it couldn't be done, but I found a way.
Want full 3d acceleration on your powerbook g3 pismo?
First of all, get the system set up with kernel 2.6.9:
Update the system
-then-
Edit your yaboot configuration files to make sure it's using that.
Remove the "append=rhgb quiet" line, and run ybin.
Once you've done that, use the attached XF86Config configuration file:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name
of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

Don't include that end of file line ;)
That will give you 3D acceleration!
