The XFree support for the Cirrus 75* chips is pretty unwonderful.  If
you want to hack on it, they'd love to hear from you; if not, go pay a
visit to www.xinside.com and hand Thomas a few of your readies.  Their
server works quite well, although you may have to turn off accelerated
support to get it 100%.
