I'll make a new one after the S900 is done compiling KDE 3.4.
Chris - was it you who had a Voodoo5 in a Mac somewhere? I remember 
someone here had one, but I have no idea who. Turns out the voodoo3-5 
have nearly identical blitters ( at least from a driver's point of view 
) so I changed my driver to attach to voodoo4 and 5 too, it would be 
nice to know if this really works.

I'll make new ones too.

Maybe I've got an idea what's wrong with the Radeons - I still think 
it's PCI IO related, so my comment about the voodoo3 in the other mail 
may not be that far off the mark. So the next kernel will probably 
enable a few things like sparse IO and so on for Radeons so the Xserver 
can actually access legacy VGA registers ( on the voodoo3 it works 
because these registers are actually in a PCI resource )

have fun
Michael
