The core chipsets are different, ranging from R100 -> R300. The development teams were not the same. I've tried to bringup an R300 (Radeon 9700) on a non-x86 arch and it was a big pain. I do not think that this patch will work for R200's (7xxx series, and 8xxx) or R300's (9xxx series). Having said that I've seen seen weirder things work... I have an R200 AGP and thus I can't try it on my C3K. If anyone has a PCI ATI 7xxx card I would love to buy it from them for testing :) c.
