Although, unless you d/l the newer version from www.cs.unibo.it/~nardinoc/pm2fb
it does not make it into the menuconfig(on x86 and alpha platforms).

Also, is this driver knows to work with FireGL 1000 PROs? Also when is the KGI
driver going to be checked in, there was a binary only for the permedia II a
while back, why wasnt that source at least checked in to the cvs tree?
