Speak of the devil, I had just this week found Erik Reide's old patches 
from last year lurking on my hard drive, and walked through them to see 
what the status of the in-tree code is for the Alpha.  Some of his 
patches were committed, but the pcigart stuff is still broken.

The needed busdma code is what's really holding it back, I think.  I 
tried a crash course in busdma last year and failed spectacularly, 
mostly due to my not actually being a C programmer.  ;^)

I've put his old patches up on 
http://www.nwlink.com/~dhop/netbsd-dri.diff.gz for now-- they don't 
work against the 4.4 tree, you'll have to comb through it by hand.  
Check out a circa-Feb. 2003 xfree from cvs, patch, and you may get 
lucky with a 3dfx card.

And by the way, my new Radeon 9200SE works great (sans DRI) with 
NetBSD-Alpha as well.
