You might want to try my alpha driver at
http://194.218.183.235/~wlfshmn/
It a first attempt at a G200 driver, but the basic support is in there for
G400 too. It's untested however, so I cannot guarantee anything. It will
only attempt to use the first card, and the first CRTC. There is not any
acceleration in there either (and the Mystique acceleration will not work
due to a few changes both in my driver, and in the way you program the
accelerator)
I'm not doing any further work on that driver right now, as I'm porting and
trying to get it to work on KGI0.9, which will hopefully replace KGIcon once
it's in a working state ;)
