Ok, I'll shrink that list. There are a few others that have  
practically no chance to show up in a mac ( or non-PC for that  
matter ). What we really need is just all ati, nvidia, matrox, chips &  
technologies, tdfx on macppc and ati, all the sun stuff and permedia2  
on sparc64. Plus wsfb on both. Although, maybe we should build the  
matrox driver on sparc64 as well - xfree86's mga driver was able to  
use a cold Millennium II on sparc64 with some hacking ( mainly PCI  
access stuff, no x86 emulation involved here )

have fun
