I don't have access to the docs, but there are many chipsets with the mach64 core, going from (iirc) isa to agp (or at least gart). Also iirc it is used on laptop chipsets released after the radeon (ATI Mobility M1 springs to mind, but I can't easily confirm). Since these are based on the Mach64 they all use the mach64 driver although there possess very different features. There is a GATOS project to add 3D to those mach64 chips which support 3D; it has never been merged into the XFree86 driver. Xv may or may not have made it into the mach64 driver too. -- Dr. Andrew C.
