Is there any way to get 3d going on the Radeon 8500 Mac edition card, I
know for x86 they're available from
http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/download_ati.html but I was
wondering if it's possible to get 3d acceleration on the PPC in mandrake
with the radeon 8500?
Thanks,

Holy smokes, why weren't you using it before? It was built over 2 weeks

Hi,
This version of the XFree86 package contains the gatos ati.2 drivers, but
since my patch for PowerMacs was apparently never applied to the GATOS

it will not harm anything.
Hmm, forgot to make a fix for XFree86. Constants merging is not an
x86-only thing. It's just that option got backported to gcc-2.96 and
3.0.x from gcc-3.1.
A patch is attached.
