I tried your binary with ati driver from
penguinppc.org::xfree86-pmac on iMac revB.  It worked for 15
bit color but did not used to work for 24 bit color.  After
installation of your binary, it works well!!

Result of x11perf --scroll500 under your binary + ati driver;

Sync time adjustment is 0.2300 msecs.

    300 reps @  19.5974 msec (    51.0/sec): Scroll 500x500 pixels
    300 reps @  19.4797 msec (    51.3/sec): Scroll 500x500 pixels

    300 reps @  19.1724 msec (    52.2/sec): Scroll 500x500 pixels
   1500 trep @  19.3888 msec (    51.6/sec): Scroll 500x500 pixels

I know this is not so fast especially for r128 people, but
for me this is great improvement.

Thanks a lot.
