Please forward me any lspci's you get as I will be needing them for the
XFree 4.0 IMS TwinTurbo driver i'm writing. thanks!

Sure, but I haven't had any response, yet. I wonder there's little IxMicro
cards users now. I haven't heard ixmicro activities recently...

(right now I only have the IMSTT 128 and 3D's id's, is the UltimateRez one
of these or different?)

(I don't know about it at all. Does IMSTT 128s have only on ID?)

quoted

The maintanance of the server will be over when XFree86 4.0 becomes
stable and easy to use(for beginners, too) state and XFree86 projects
Inc. stops 3.x series maintanace.

I'm not very sure if this attempt isn't a waste of time.
Any suggestion, advice, information, etc. are greatly apprecicated.

It sounds great, but as you mentioned above, 4.01 (hopefully with working
ATI and IMSTT on ppc) will pretty much obsolete Xpmac as I don't see any

                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, it is really obsolete, therefore I'm rewriting DDX.

reason for anybody to use xpmac over a (granted, working) 4.x.

                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is that a true for everyone and when?
In my experience, when experts or developers say "it performs great,
works fine without any problem", mostly it isn't true for beginners
(including me a couple years ago), who can't even get it to work.
 In my personal opinion, it isn't a bad idea that people can SELECT
the server suitable for their skills and purposes.
