I will apply the patch to 2.5.X this weekend. I have been doing some experimenting with the Voodoo4 on my Mac, and I have made a little progress. By doing register dumps and general snooping about to discover how MacOS sets up the card, I've found that the card actually supports a big-endian aperture on the framebuffer (this is different from how big-endian support works on the Voodoo3). As I don't have docs, there's a lot of guess-work involved, and I haven't got it working 100% reliably yet - but once I do I'll supply a patch. I'm also working on getting the hwcursor working. The patch I produced against 2.4.21 does contain fixes for the hwcursor on the Voodoo3 for big-endian machines. Again, though, because the different way byte-swizzling works on the Voodoo4/5, it doesn't work there in 16- and 32-bit modes. When I get the big-endian fixes for the Voodoo4/5 finished, I'll have look at the hwcursor on 2.5/2.6 . . .
