Hi, Under BO (Debian 1.3), I had the same problem with the same video card and kept getting the message:
Warning: Mach64Clkt < 16 (or something similar). I upgraded to hamm (with it's newer version of XFree86) and the problem went away. What version of X are you using? What's the output of: X > <any name for file where x startup messages willbe stored>.txt > 2>&1 (e.g. X > myXerrors.txt > 2>&1) Whats your XF86Config file look like?
