Note that ATI 3D Rage Mobility is listed under _supported_ (there are two
lists in that paragraph, the first are unsupported and the second are
supported).  I should make this more clear on the site, but there are
cards called "3D Rage XXX", _without_ "Pro"  in the name that have only
very limited 3D capabilities -- i.e. texturing, but no triangle setup.  
AFAIK, all "Rage Mobility" cards using mach64 are of the "Pro" variety and 
have triangle setup.

Sure, I can help.  Also, have a look at the docs and FAQs on
dri.sourceforge.net.
