Yes - it wouldn't help anyway. We do not have drivers for the ATI Rage.

Oh - that's bad. Maybe we need to adjust for PowerPC. Could you send more
details on this ?

What you are trying is kgicon. Maybe you are hinting at Steffen's "real
KGI" ? That isn't a good idea for that chipset right now.
I don't know, if the kernel has native drivers for the Rage ...
You might want to try:
Open Firmware frame buffer device support - CONFIG_FB_OF
but I'm not sure, if that would work. I don't think the VESAfb would
work on anything but x86.

KGIcon is running fine here on a Permedia2 based board on x86. The driver is
designed for running on PPC and similar, so that might work. However you'll
have a hard time getting such an old card today ...
