It's currently broken due to major changes in the fbdev API.  However, a 
working version (at least according to its mantainer) can be had by pulling 
from bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.5.  I'm still working on getting my 
kernel to compile, so I can't speak to how well that driver works.  Still, 
it's better then not compiling at all.

Cheers,
Nicholas
