The FireGL 1, 2, 3, and 4 cards have nothing to do with any chip in the Radeon family. These cards were originally designed by Diamond, but they were later taken over by ATI. The *ONLY* Linux drivers (2D or 3D) available for this family of cards are the binary-only drivers for x86 provided by ATI. AFAIK, IBM never has and never intends to release the technical documentation required to create a driver for this chip. Sorry. :(Hi,Is there, or will there, be any support for the above card... also marketted as FireGL 2 PRO PCI or HP GL-UX.. Linux detects it as: Bus 0, device 11, function 0: VGA compatible controller: PCI device 1014:0170 (IBM) (rev 2). IRQ 28. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=255.Max Lat=255. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xa580000 [0xa59ffff]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xc000000 [0xfffffff]. It is aparrently manufactured by ATI, uses an IBM chipset.. and is supplied on a 64bit pci card, a picture (890kb) is available at http://www.ev6.net/card.jpg I hear conflicting things, some people tell me this card is Radeon based/compatible, but the current CVS XF86 doesnt detect it as such, would it work if it recognised the PCI ID as a radeon card? or is it just not compatible atall? The ATI-supplied binary drivers should aparrently support this card, but the only machine i have which will take this card atall is an Alpha, and thus wont run the x86 binaries supplied by ATI.
