Can we do accelerated non x stuff on the radeon with closed

There is an open source driver (XF86) for the Radeon 9200 board.
Yup and I cant find any more radeon 9200 in local stores. I will need
small batches of 8 to 16 from time to time but even agp motherboards
are on the way out,
I couldn't find many genuine ATI boards in local stores so I mail
ordered one. I think that they are on almost at the point of being
discontinued. But ATI still has both AGP and PCI. The problem with
using PCI is that it will probably be somewhat slower -- I suppose that
it depends on what speed AGP you compare it to.
AGP:

PCI:

IAC, this is what I said somewhere else that the disappearance of fully
supported (XF86 driver: 3D) video boards is going to create a market for
something to replace them.
and the last time i tried hacking the 9200 from the X sources i had a
migraine.
Yes, I get those when trying to figure out code too.
