I'm trying to get a Silicon Motion 501 based graphics interface to
work under XFree86 4.3 (Linux) and experience some problems which I
believe is related to the driver not handling big endian correctly.

However, to rule out X11 itself (including potential problems in my
compilation) I would like to get a PCI based graphics card to work in
the machine. I've tried Matrox Millenium, S3 Virge, Tseng ET4000, SIS
6326, and Cirrus 5446 without any luck.

So, does anybody have a PowerPC based system successfully running
XFree86 (presumably version 4.3) with a PCI based graphics card. If
yes, which graphics card are you using?

Thank you
Best regards
