That's an ISA manual, basically describes which instructions the GPU
understands and what effect they have. This is very useful for people
who want to write accelerated drivers etc, but not for integration in
an operating system. There's probably another manual that describes the
registers, initialisation, memory etc.

GPU driver development is usually done by Xorg. The Xorg mailinglist is
probably a better place to ask. If you do, include more information
about your actual hardware.

Btw. all the relevant developers are aware that ATI publishes these
documents. The real issue is the lack of time or money. If you can help
them on that front, that would be great...
