Why? This should not be unless the bios on the x86 card never initializes the card in any way. If the bios does do some basic initialization, the patch should work just as well for an x86 card as a ppc one if the main clock rate is the same. If the main clock rate is different, as long as you can find out what it is, reading and calculating the timings from those register settings really should work generically, shouldn't it?
