Nik:
You are correct: This thread has been discussed many times:
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=The+solution+to+Mach64+problems+on+Lombard&list=239
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2000/debian-powerpc-200012/threads.html#00253
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=Xfree86-4.0.1%2C+Lombard%2C+Mach64+driver%2C+X-server+Crash&list=3
I suppose that I might have found these earlier if I had known the
relationship between the Mach64 and the ATI 3D Rage Pro LT... I'd been
searching using the phrase "lombard ATI 3D".
What _is_ the relationship between Mach64 and ATI Rage?

i recall several threads here about getting xfree86 working on lombard, the
reassuring answer it that it does! and with acceleration ( if you are
looking
for a challenge. . see http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/ for the relevant
dri-mach64 packages)
to begin with, the video chip is ati mach64, so the relevant bits of your
xfree86 config should look something like
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Lombard LCD"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 31.5-57.0
VertRefresh 50-70
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Lombard ATI"
Driver "ati"
ChipSet "mach64"
BusID "PCI:0:17:0"
Option "DMAMode" "mmio"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Lombard ATI"
Monitor "Lombard LCD"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
