If I use VidModeExtension at first modes which are entered in XF86Config
are entered as 640x481 (but this is of course a minor problem and can be
workarounded). The big problem is that the Screen is totally messed up, looks
to me as if the Bytes_Per_Line are not correct. With 1024x768 it works
correct, but with no other resolutions (and 1024x768 is too slow for the
software renderer of the game, I need 640x480). The Hardware is a
"Blue/White" G3 Mac 1st Revision with (naturally) ATI Rage Graphics
Hardware. I am using the ATI Rage Driver.

I cannot try getting something to work what does not exist. And appearently
there are no GLX- or DRI-Drivers for ATI Rage (or any other hardware) yet.
I am talking about Hardware Accelerated Mesa3D here...
