Again, what is not working for you?  What have you tried to get them
working for you and how did it fair?

I cannot try getting something to work what does not exist. And appearently
there are no GLX- or DRI-Drivers for ATI Rage (or any other hardware) yet.
I am talking about Hardware Accelerated Mesa3D here...

Ok, you should say so (3D support for older video cards like ATI Rage) in
your previous message then.  As you may know, DRI drivers already exist
for mga, r128, tdfx, i810 in source form.

I'm working on a /dev/agpgart implementation for new machines. But DRI
should be already port-able using the PCI GART provided by most ATI
chipsets. Any volunteer ?

Great, I'd happily beta-test and/or help, will that be in your rsync-tree or
in 2.4?

But DRI should be already port-able using the PCI GART provided by most ATI
chipsets.

The latest r128 DRI driver should work without AGP GART, but AFAIK PCI GART
support is only planned yet - I assume and hope it should work anyway?

Any volunteer ?

I'll have a try. (checking out the DRI CVS tree now :)
