Yes, it's a 3D RAGE Pro. > find a card matching my P/N at the ATI site that was > built for macs. (It was pulled from a PowerMac > 9600).

AFAIK these were built with either a 3D RAGE II+ (like mine) or a 3D RAGE Pro. > smaller chip that says "Nexus GA 42601" on it. That's probably the firmware ROM. So it contains `Nexus GA' firmware, and is probably a Nexus GA ;-) BTW, what connectors are there on the card? My Xclaim3D has a 15-pin VGA connector and a Mac monitor connector. > But then the kernel seem to recognize it > as a Mach64 card.

It covers the following families: - GX: earliest version, external clockchip and RAMDAC - CT: integrated clockchip and RAMDAC - VT: video extensions - GT: 3D extensions (i.e. 3D RAGE) o GT-B: 3D RAGE II and II+ o GT-C: 3D RAGE Pro - LT: for laptops > However, r128 X driver does not work on this card > and reports "No devices detected". Indeed, RAGE 128 is the next generation of ATI, using a 128-bit architecture.
