hi,

i tried it with a home-build -current (as of 20040906). it turned out 
not to function on both my G4 w/Radeon 9000 and my girlfriends G3 b&w 
w/Radeon 8500 (same 'error' or 'phenomenon', call it as you like ;).

i put the original Rage 128 Pro (is detected as 'Rage Fury MAXX blah') 
-- reports broken pipe. okay.

i just set up the G4 with 1.6.2 and am building a new STABLE kernel 
right now. going to test X the next hour or so.

we'll see (or not) :D

thanks for your help and your XF86Config post!
