Are you asking if someone has been able to make this work?
I think the answer is no.
Lack of HW documentation is a problem for all the FX* cards.

Surely the FireGL card isn't an FX* card but a Radeon?  If so, maybe
ATI have released some docs on it ... Anyone know?

FireGL is ATI's high-end chip offering.  The drivers are binary only.

Ati supports only binary driver for intel.  
I could use the driver of xfree86 for radeon otherwise the only way is the 
frame buffer .

AFAIK ati would be supported in 2.4.21?

So :

I wouldn't have more chance to make work this Ati Rage model?
