   ALSA emulates OSS.

   They won't work with that driver.  I am still waiting *COUGH* from IBM for
this (and they said they would get back to me.  Once they send the specs I'll
write a driver or any patches necessary.

   The X server doesn't know how to properly deal with the ATI hardware in
the i series and it overwrites things that it shouldn't.  It's only dangerous
running the Mach server, if at all.

  It will not.  It can't support it.
