I'm pretty sure there is an OF driver on the Mac style Mach64 cards. I
know the built-in RagePro on the G3 powerbooks had a driver. The only
ones I know of that definitely don't have a driver are the platinum
chips (powermac 7200, maybe others?).
However, it may be a pain to setup OF to actually use it, since it's
almost certainly not set by default. You would need to find the right
OF device path and set it as the output device.
