Hi all,
I want use ATI Rage XL on an embedded hardware, I see Linux kernel 2.6.x has
support to initialize this board although Geert Uytterhoeven say me it will
be removed from Linux kernel because it don't work or is broken.

Yep.  It's broken and has been for some time.

That code was orginally created by a person with a PCI bus analyser. 
He captured each access the bios made to the the card and then wrote a
driver that was essentially a bunch of IO's that would bring the chip
to life.

That driver was then converted into the ATY format of things for 2.6.x
but I don't believe it has ever worked since then.   And no one has
ever fixed it.

I want know how to found all parameter to struct xl_card_cfg_t (xlinit.c) to
make my board work?

Somewhere in the archives (V1 I think) is a mother board that has the
orginal working copy of xlinit.c.  You can also go get it out of the
2.4.x kernel.

Another option is to register as a developer on ATI's site and get the
docs for the Rage XL.  That coupled with the xlinit.c should allow you
fixup your problems.
