This doesn't matter now that new snapshots are available.
I used the latest snapshot (200711120002Z) to test the driver in the
machine I commented earlier (PowerMac G4 Sawtooth "AGP graphics" or
PowerMac3,1).
Sorry for the delay since my first message :-( .

The r128 card of this machine seems to be the same model as yours
(AGP4X, reported as 'ATI Technologies Rage Fury MAXX AGP 4x (TMDS)').
So, as expected, the driver attaches without modification and
everything works fine with a speedy console.

The only weird thing that I noticed was that, after booting the
kernel, no framebuffer output was printed until the r128 driver
attached. The first line of text was 'wsdisplay0 at r128fb0'.
But this may be fixed since this snapshot.

Thanks for this work!
Marco.
