I have a PCI Radeon 7500 running fine with 3D acceleration running.
You need to upgrade your X though and compile the appropriate DRM/DRI
modules (sorry, grep the archives which is the one from the kernel). I
can play tuxracer nicly on my single CPU, 20164 500 Mhz alpha.
So you either get one of the 4.2.1 test builds (the earlier ones
compile on woody) or Michael D�nzers DRI-packages which now work on
alpha as well. The latter are probably easier to install.
