Yes, that shouldn't matter at all. I think something might go wrong in the
ATIProbe function. Can't see what though at first glance, you could add some
printfs to that function-from-hell to see what's going on - I think ultimately
it should just end up calling that RadeonProbe function in the end, however I
can't even tell if it's expected that you get a warning that the device could
(naturally) not be attached as a mach64. The ati wrapper is kinda deprecated
though and may be removed in the future, I don't think anyone is really
interested in it and working on it. I certainly get a headache from looking at it.
