Subject:   X on Miata / Mach64 SVGA -> crash 'n burn

I'm currently trying to setup my Miata MX5 to run X. Sofar this fails
miserably with Mach64 based cards (both ISA and PCI). Starting X gets
me straight to the >>> SRM prompt. 

I also tried using a S3 765 based card and in that case a X -probeonly
gives me 'machine check while in PAL mode'. Cute.. 

This is 4.0-RC2, with the card in a 64 bit PCI slot (before the PCI 
bridge). Putting it in a 32 bit slot (behind the bridge) gives me a straight
reboot.

Suggestions are welcome, I like this thing to demo at Jordan's visit to
Holland next saturday. Obviously it would be nice if it worked a bit
better then ;-)
