DENX has released source code and patches for a preliminary version
of graphics drivers for the Fujitsu "Coral-P" graphics card for
big-endian Linux systems (like PowerPC). The code is available as
Free Software under GPL at ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/fujitsu/Coral-P/

The code was especially developed for and tested on a Motorola
LITE5200 board featuring the MPC5200 processor, running a standard
Debian installation including KDE etc.

Please see the included README for instructions. A tutorial how to
install Debian on a MPC5200 system is available in the DULG:
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/DebianOnPowerpcInstallationHowto

More efficient drivers which will actually utilize the advanced
graphics features of the Coral-P chip are under development. DENX
will make this much more powerful accelerated X11 driver available
soon. Of course it will be Free Software under GPL, too.

[Please drop me a note if you are interested in a ATA  harddisk  with
Debian & the graphics drivers pre-installed.]

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
