- works only on some PowerPC systems (most ATI graphics cards)

 I would have written : "Works on all PowerPC systems with ATI graphic
cards". I believe we have had no single success report with non-ATI graphic cards, and we solved all ATI related problems. Well, i am not sure if this
 applies to radeonfb only, or if problems remain with older ati cards
though. Eddy/Attilio, can you comment on this ?

Failures on PPC with ATI Radeon cards were never reported (only successes)
A failure on PPC with ATI ATI 3D Rage Pro was reported.
Success was reported with ATI 3D Rage IIC.
We never received reports about success with NVidia cards.


So, what about :

  Works on all PowerPC systems with ATI radeon graphic cards.

Maybe contrasted with an additional :

  And may work with some older ATI graphic cards.

Better would if the g-i worked on all graphic boards.. ;)
But "Works on all PowerPC systems with ATI radeon graphic cards." is indeed correct, pheraps just not exaustive.

cheers
