I did some hacking and it works, at least for me. The problem is the vgahw module - it tries to map the VGA framebuffer which fails and then it tries to access VGA registers which fails too. The hack involves a kernel patch ( to allow mapping of $a0000 - hacked the ofb driver to redirect that to the beginning of the framebuffer ) and support to map the PCI register space. In XFree I just enabled using memory-mapped IO - awkward because different PCI busses in Macsa can have different IO areas but if you only use one card it /should/ work for all drivers ( tested tdfx and mga )

See above :)

Module loads, finds my Voodoo3 but panics when XFree tries to use it. Had to do a lot of hacking, the code looks /very/ awkward.

good luck
