On my machine (a PowerMac 4400) with a Mach64 VT running in 16-bit
color, the screen is unreadable if you don't have the endianess fixes in
Linux 2.4, or the unbroken 2.1.125 kernel.
XFree86 4.0 ati driver started without a problem on my machine, although
it crashes hard my machine after a bit of use.
The fbdev driver is a bit more stable, but it leaves large black
sploches on the screen, after dragging around windows.
So, you mileage may very. Good luck, let me know how far you get.
