I have a Rage Mobility with the same device ID on my laptop
(Compaq Armada M700) but haven't been able to get it working with
framebuffer.  At any rate, atyfb is the proper one to use.  Let
me know if you get it working, I'd like to use it too.

Well I only use it with vesafb,but ywrap is doing strange stuff
(maybe the card misreports the amount of memory on it) and redraw
and ypan are sloooow...

Tried a late model ac kernel and 2.4.4pre3. The ac kernel seems to
have a somewhat re-organised atyfb driver. Both fail dismally - I
see 'flashes' on the screen when typing stuff but the screen is
essentially blank. vesafb worked for the minute or two during which
I tested it but I couldn't get x running on top of the framebuffer
so I've gone back to normal vga console stuff and using a ati X
driver. Interestingly, the atyfb driver reported my card as 'PCI'
instead of AGP. Device ID is 4c4d. Machine is a Dell latitude CPt S600Gt.

I'd be keen to hear if anyone gets it working ...
