ATI Drivers... do it yourself?

I've got a Lombard on my lap.

It's a great little machine most of the time.

But it's a cripple. You see, it's got an ATI Rage Pro LT for its
graphics card. And OS X doesn't like that. So it might as well have a
hamster for it's graphics card.

How feasible is it to write a driver for the ATI Rage Pro LT? How much
work is there to be done? How much documentation is there to work with?
How many man-hours would need to be used? What skills would need to be
used? How many people are interested in helping? How portable would the
code be to the other ATI chips that are sitting there acting like
hamsters?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Any people interesting in perhaps
helping (if it's at all possible) would be more so.
