Yes, or rather, with an ATI Rage 128 card, as that was the first card
available to me that had 3D support in XFree86 AND was acceptable to
the SRM console (at least on machines newer than PC164).

I'm not too surprised, if you are using SRM console. Its BIOS emulator
was pretty limited.

However, I HAVE had good luck on a PC164 running from ARC/MILO with an
ATI Rage 128 (and maybe a Radeon), as well as a Voodoo3 3000, AND
getting the 3D support in RH 7.2 for Alpha to function. The PC164 is
the only "sparse" Alpha that I've been able to get 3D to work on,
although I may not have tried others under MILO...

So, you need to decide whether SRM or 3D is more important to you... ;-}
