Several things, actually...  

The 2D accel isn't tied to the system correctly- DRM locking needs to be 
implemented in the Mach64 XAA driver.

The 3D is a _hack_ to verify we have a working Mesa driver- it is doing 
direct register writes without any locking.  The Mesa driver needs to 
implement DMA support proper through the DRM.

The DMA support in the DRM hasn't been implemented yet- I'm about halfway 
done with it and it's taking a while because my time's off-and-on limited for 
reasons I won't bore the list with.  I do believe I'll make some positive 
headway shortly though.

It's very unstable- switching VCs will pretty much hose up your machine.  I 
wouldn't be putting this in the HEAD until it's had a LOT of pounding on.
