I got this kind of working. Here are the
basics for those in the same boat.
XServer: XF86_Mach64

I have a little flickering row of dots
in the lower left-hand corner of the
display but have been told that it
will go way once I enable frame-
buffer support.
To anyone with LCD expertise: Does
this config look reasonable? I don't
know if LCD's are susceptible to the
same overdriving problems as CRT's.
Thanks,
