I tried GGI and friends on an mklinux dr3 box.
It's a Power Mac 8100, which means it's nubus-based, which means it will
only work with mklinux.
Unfortunately, it seems that their latest kernel is based on something
like 2.0.34.
GGI compilation failed on the fbdev target, with some errors that I
recall seeing on this list from people with older kernels.
If GGI should be able to compile on an fbdev 2.0.x kernel, please let me
know and I'll give it more effort / provide more information.
(Excuse my ignorance of macs/mklinux, I'm sure I've mangled some terms
somewhere.)
