Hi,
	Looks like we have to find the way ourselves :).  Download X4.1 sources and 
utah-glx sources. Look at ati driver source under X which is in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati. If you look at atiprobe.c, 
function ATIProbe( .. ). This contains the routine that finds if the required 
device is present. Here you can see rage128 and radeon inits being separated 
out of this but mach64 (ragepro) is mixed. I think the starting point would 
be to separate out an init portion for mach64 where we can register screen 
functions and other preinit functions for mach64. After that we can follow 
say how rage128 is code is written, look for similar pieces in the utah-glx 
source code and try porting other pieces. 

	If anyone has better insights please put in your two pieces.

Pramod.
