I have the precursor (PowerBook3,5) and my short answer is "caveats  
galore".

X's autoconfiguration did not automagically detect the 1280×854 at 24  
panel as it did in YDL4.1, so I tinkered with the config file.  If  
memory serves, the Enlightenment desktop started up as 1152×768 at 16 or  
something similar.  A few tweaks later, and all's running optimally.

I couldn't get video-out through DVI or S-Video to work.  Since I  
don't make much use of video-out, do not interpret this as meaning  
"it doesn't work at all", just that *I* couldn't get it to work.   
Your mileage will vary, but I suspect somewhat further than mine  
being that my machine's older than yours.

Hope that helped.
