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 :)
