Is the Rage 128 GPU still supported via the generic modesetting driver?
I'm asking because, we're still supporting PowerMacs in Debian Ports
of which
some of those are sporting a Rage 128 GPU. Similar question applies
to the
i810 GPU used in some old ThinkPads, for example.
Yes, all of those chips are still supported by the generic modesetting
drivers
and even the old userspace Xorg drivers.
OK, good to know.
The only thing that is not supported any longer is
hardware-accelerated 3d rendering.
However, this has not worked anyway, as Mesa has dropped support for
those chips a long
time ago.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that's what Mesa Classic was
forked off for?
AFAIK Mesa classic is for old radeon, i915 and old nouveau code. The
so-called amber branch:

But the removed code is for even older hardware.
