Oddly enough, no matter what I do, the driver does not work with the chip.
You are right about the age, I am trying to resurrect an old ThinkPad T42.

Hey oibaf , would it be too much to ask to add xenial packages back again? I don't mean to support/update them, just keep them at your last version. The reason is that your ppa was the last one (to my knowledge) to support half way recent mesa versions for xenial. And travis-ci only has xenial as its most recent distro...

I dropped xenial packages to free some space, the PPA was full. You may want to use this as an alternative:

I think there is an archive here: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archiv...ld_state=built
Also Ubuntu provides this newer mesa: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial-updates/mesa

I just used *cough* some force to work around it for now though... https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-st...4d762f2d93932e

It turns out that despite being in the Mesa sourcecode, the R200 driver is not a "valid" option with Meson, which is the cause of the RV200 not using radeon, as the driver simply isn't there (I had tried compiling Mesa on Solus).
I had already posted a bug report about this.
