You are correct, those are the latest PowerPC laptop models available,
unfortunately.  No work has been done on the DRI drivers for PowerPC on
FreeBSD.  The most that we have so far is an AGP attachment, so the drivers
compile.  Last time I tried they resulted in a blank screen and insane CPU
load.  This was several months ago though.
