Just to give you another testing point, I tried your patch on my beige
G3/266 workstation (rev 2 with the 3D rage pro). My setup is the latest
(as of 1 hour ago) pmac-stable rsync (says its 2.2.17) launched via BootX,
from the MacOS 9.0.4

I started the console with atyfb, mode 17, color 32. The FBDev X server
(v3.3.6-11.2) started fine, with the latest utah-glx (pseudo DMA as real
DMA is still broken in utah-glx) also working well. Checking utah-glx is
useful as it accesses the MMIO mapped registers (particularly the 3D
engine's registers) as returned by /dev/fb0's fixed screen info IOCTL.

As the X server's mode is 1280x1024-61 (at 15 bpp) and the console was
running 1024x768-75 (at 32 bpp) this included a color depth mode switch.

Anyway, the conclusion: it didn't break my (utterly normal except for
utah-glx) setup.

FYI, my lspci -vv output is attached.

PS: I second the motion on the fixing of atyfb's depth switching.
