Reading with mutt makes me less likely to do the cut and paste. Anyway,
if the link to which you refer is
http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status6.html
That really doesn't help. It does talk about support for Radeon Chips, but
because it is dated it refers to all Radeon chips that existed at that time.
So, what would the patch file look like (i. e. its name, location, and asso-
ciated files)?
Thanks,
Art

I think that might be the case. Interestingly there is what appears to
be a signature with Branden's name on it.
