it’s no longer necessary as of (iirc) xorg-server-1.5.3. now there’s the xf86-video-mach64 package.

however, the mach64 drm module is not build by/in the mainline kernel, so it requires building from the mesa tree. there’s an aur PKGBUILD for it, but the mesa drm is no longer compatible with the kernel drm, so you’ll have to disable drm in the kernel and recompile if you want dri support for the mach64.

what a fricking headache.

I’ve got such a card in my old laptop, which is also running Arch, but hasn’t been update in a long while.
