I have tested the driver which we have at the repository,
with an old Mach64, but it didn't work,
card id is (from syslog):
KERN: PCI: vendor 1002: ATI Technologies Inc
KERN: PCI: device 4755: 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB]
i am planning to have a look at, to the near future,
but i am still at the beginning:)
