Just one further thought regarding FireGL X1. The OLS article by Grant
referenced in the above
link indicated that a common problem in porting drivers to parisc was
timing issues with I/O writes.
This was fixed in a couple of drivers by doing a read after doing a
write. Possibly, the radeon driver
could be hacked to always read after write as a test.
I also read somewhere ia64 linux using zx1 chipset did work at one
time. This link gives some history
on ia64 and might give some hints about other things to try:

Agreed. There's no way to change the c8000 BIOS. I'd hoped that
removing the X1 might free up
I/O space and allow 9200 to work.
