I have the same problem w/ an AST Bravo pentium-100. It has a Mach64 ati-264ct chip integrated on the mother board. When probing for the sc0 or pc0 device it blanks the screen and stays blank. With a syscons kernel I can run XFree86 3.1.2's SVGA server in its 320x200 fallback mode, which also makes the virtual terminals accessible again. There has been some discussion of getting the mach64 X server working w/ it on comp.windows.x.i386 and on comp.os.linux.x newsgroups. So far none of the things they have mentioned have worked.
