I'll send you a patch file later tonight.  I have the driver and
accelerant code building on Haiku, just haven't been able to test
it...  I last worked on it in beos sometime last August!



A brief list of changes are:



X300-X850 support
LCD Backlight fixes (some still don't work though)

Support PIO fallback mode for some broken X700s

Support new VGA bios (ATOMBIOS)

Support Dual LCD monitors (this was broken in the monitor routing)

Support Rage Theatre 200 video in (not finished as my hardware died)

Support AGP module

Support bootloader kernel arguments / settings file
General Sync with X.org codebase

Other stuff I probably forget...
