Define "supported". I believe for PowerPC in RHEL we build
the matroxfb
driver for this card, so that plus the fbdev driver for X is what you
get there. I'm not sure what would happen on Fedora for that, probably
aligning it with RHEL makes sense. On x86 you'd get vesa.
Assuming there are no down-sides of aligning Fedora and RHEL in this
area, it would be appreciated. Do you need a BZ to do this?
But in any of those cases there's no acceleration code involved,
so
"supported" could reaally only mean "lights up and sets modes".
Light is good. For the lower-functionality desktops, it is enough.
The IBM AIX GXT135 driver documents a switch to enable minimally
acceleration, but does not describe any details. Even without that
enabled, it is usable under CDE.

The mgag200 driver is, at the moment, only a driver for server
variants
of the G200 (G200SE, G200WB, etc). Actual G200, as well as G400 G450
and G550, are not driven by the mgag200 driver at this time.
Thanks for the info, and your efforts!
I can give them a try around alpha-time, and see what transpires.
