If you can get me the info, I will do the work. I own
both Rage and Radeon cards so I can do some testing.
I'll also add DDC support if they'll give me that
info.

I spent last night disassembling their ROMs. The reset
procedure is not too difficult. But I would much
rather do it with support from ATI documentation. It
is easy to misinterpret a disassembly.

Do you have a personal contact there? Maybe they can
be convinced to publicly release documentation for
their older products. I'm sure NVidia doesn't care how
the Rage chip works any more. It would make a good PR
release about ATI being a community citizen. It would
also free their developer relations group from
hassling with open source developers on older cards.
