New Apple PB15'' supported?

[Reiner Klenk]

You should at least see the console  when booting the newly installed 
system, at least I did (Don't have the video ram extension, though). 
Maybe try to pass the parameter init 3 when booting so that the system 
doesn't start X which will not work out of the box.

My experience with X so far:

stay with the installed versions of kernel and XFree and change 
XF86Config to use the fbdev driver. Works fine but doesn't provide 
hardware 3D or xv ports.

or:

update X to latest snapshot (from sources) plus recent 2.6.X kernel. 
Then you can use the radeon driver. Still no hardware 3d, but at least 
you get a useable xv port for video overlay.

In case you are wondering about the sluggish behaviour in Linux, the CPU 
is running at half speed even with the latest (vanilla) kernels (only 
650 Bogomips on my system).

Regards,
Reiner
