The CV64 driver (and the CV64/3D and Retina/Z3 drivers) were removed
in commit e019630e78e3482c ("[PATCH] remove broken video drivers") in
v2.6.21.
On A4000, amifb defaults to a VGA mode, which is not compatible
with the 1084.
Adrian: can you please remove:
StartInstall_CV3D
StartInstall_CV64
StartInstall_retz3
and s/clgen/cirrusfb/ in StartInstall_clgen?
