I am installing OpenBSD 5.5 64-bit to my Power Mac G5 (7,3) Dual G5
2.7GHz machine and am trying to find information about my graphics
card: Radeon X800 256MB RAM, stats as given by Mac OS X 10.5.8:

ATI Radeon X800 XT:

Chipset Model: ATY,R420
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4a48
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A35801-104
Displays:
ASUS VS247:
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
Depth: 32-Bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Display Connector:
Status: No Display Connected

I searched the old ppc emails at marc.info ("radeon x800" search
string) and the latest mention of the X800 XT was in this thread:

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ppc&m=129432230109695&w=2

Under section:

[1455673.562] (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:
...
...
ATI Radeon X800 SE (R420) (AGP), ATI Radeon X800XT (R420) JP (AGP)
...
...

Does this mean that the X800 XT is supported by the Radeon driver?
Has anybody had any luck with installing and configuring this card for
accelerated graphics? If not, is anybody working on getting support
for this video card? If not, how would one get involved to help in
getting this card up and running?

A search of the Internet brought up nothing concerning OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, or any BSD in general.

Thank you!
