Apparently ATI reinvented the wheel on this particular rv580, and did not include or obfuscated the atom bios PCI rom. As a result, the radeon driver won't get past the initial detection. It seems as though the appropriate hack for x1900 G5 is to either get a PC copy of the rom and patch the radeon driver to eat that, or to figure out where the ROM is and how to expose it. It's possible the atombios data is actually in the OS X driver software, as the fans on this card spin full power until the driver loads (or all the time in freebsd...) So after that moment of frustration (and $20 temporarily wasted...) I jammed a PC X600 in, hoping to get that working, with the Q6600 installed as well so I could see. X refuses to detect the x600, because we're on a mac I think...pciconf shows the card, but the driver won't attach. "No cards detected" Datapoint: G5 Dual Core/Quad, X is pretty much out of the question with a radeon card of any kind. Since nouveau is also broken (I think?) that means no DRM testing on this platform until one or the other works. So I think I'll keep focusing on the MDD for now... Matt
