I downloaded documentation here: 
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/NetBSD/misc/cegger/hw_manuals/ati/mach64_and_ragepro/

The RAGE XL/XC Register Reference Guide - at page 4-77 it says "select 
alternate post dividers", but doesn't say what they are.
At page 4-89 it lists post dividers 1,2,4,8,3,5,6,12. It's hard to say if 
they also apply to the PLL_EXT_CNTL register or not.

At lest the divider 3 is valid because the Sparc firmware sets it and it 
works as expected.
