I'm running a dual boot system with Win 95 and FreeBSD with the Motion 
771 card with 4meg vram.  Works like a charm.  This is with a no-name 
motherboard Triton chipset with an NCR 825 based SCSI controller.

FYI, the Number Nine driver version I'm running is (this from the 
status section of their control panel):

Windows Driver Version: Hawkeye for S3 v1.09p
Windows Disk Version: 9FX Motion Ver 2.05 (Dom)

I'm not running with the soundblaster, but rather the Gravis Ultrasound 
PnP Pro.  I did have DMA problems with my Soundblaster 16, but no idea 
if that would relate to your problems or not.
