Alex, per your last part, are there plans to change that soon?

I had moved to a Mac for these past several months and recently came back to
my beloved R50p with Gentoo. I'd like to revisit getting T.V. out to work
and a few other things.

I've followed the list lately RE: the r300 driver with X.org and am hoping I
can get everything I want now: accelerated 3D with functional APM or ACPI
and T.V. out (via S-video port).
