< X11 support on the PPC or Alpha platforms is quite similar to x86 X11 support.
< However, ATI's closed source drivers are not supported on the PPC or Alpha, so
< you cannot use the 3D features of the R300 GPU. If you have such a board and
< want it supported by X11, contact <uri link="http://www.ati.com">ATI</uri> and
< ask them to release the GPU's specifications. The closed source driver for the
< AMD64 was released, so AMD64 users can now enjoy the same features as x86
< users.
