I live 3.8km from the exchange as the crow flies - more by the route the
wires actually take - and my street isn't cabled, because the cables are
all underground, and so there's really no reason to expend so much money
to connect 11 houses, when most of them probably don't want cable
anyway.

Trust me, I'd have broadband if I could. But this is Australia. :)

Thanks for the catch. Maybe it's worth renaming r128/atimisc/radeon to
ati-r128/ati-atimisc/ati-radeon or such, and then symlinking the old
names for compatibility?

Awesome, thanks a lot.

OK.

It's not turned off, it's just currently built as a module
(libfbdevhw.la: lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfbdevhw.la, vs noinst_LIBRARIES =
 libfbdevhw.a, and linked into the final binary).

Pretty sure, yep. I use group reply by default.
