ATI Radeon X600 (RV380): 3D acceleration

[Peter Royle]

Hi,

I have a 20" iMac G5 rev c (the iSight line) with an ATI Radeon X600  
XT Pro (RV380). I'm just writing to ask if anyone knows of any  
current development efforts to get accelerated 3D working for this  
card under PPC64? I would like to follow the progress, and would also  
like to help in whatever way I can (though I'm not very experienced  
with C, device driver hacking or device reverse engineering which may  
leave the options a tad limited).

Also, what is a good way to get experience in this sort of thing for  
a complete noob? To give an idea of my background, I've done several  
years of enterprise Java development and only a small amount of C in  
my uni days.

Thanks,

Pete.
