    Any hope of getting this working? :-)

    /var/log/XFree86.0.log suggests that it's a 4 meg board
    so I'm not all that hopeful but that '3D' is enticing.

    Unfortunately, another message suggests

    (WW) ATI(0): Cannot shadow an accelerated frame buffer.

    so I'm a little puzzled. X works fine (using the "ati" driver), and
    GL works to some extent (if one can call indirect rendering "working";
    it's slow).

    It's the DRI I want to get working -- assuming this chip has any.
    (This system is behind a firewall so I'm not all that worried
    about the Mach64 drivers' malevolence possibilities.)

    This on a Gentoo system, so I'm using things like

    emerge xfree-drm

    with VIDEO_CARDS=mach64 in /etc/make.conf . (The
    VIDEO_CARDS=ati appears to be for ATI Rage 128, but I
    might try it. The documentation in the DRI project is a
    little confusing. I actually *do* have such a card but
    no AGP slot for it in this particular system.) Also,
    let me know if anyone wants more details on the output of
    /var/log/XFree86.0.log, for example.

    The odd thing is: it appears to be detecting *both* adaptors.
    Of course, "detection" is probably an overstatement.

    Thanks in advance.

It's still legal to go .sigless.
