This may not be it at all, but I had some problems with my Miata and the
XFree86-4.1.x release.
When I would go to configure X with 'XFree86 -configure' my machine would
die and go back to the SRM...
When I put my Matrox card behind the PCI-Bridge, i.e. in one of the 32-bit
slots, things worked fine.
Maybe you could try and put your video card in a 32-bit slot?

Subject: XFree86 on a DS10
Has anyone configured XFree86 successfully on an DS10 running
a -stable release? I get the config file created, but when I run
X -probeonly, it beeps at me and then is locked up hard. I cannot drop
into the kernel debugger (with <CTRL><ESC>) and the halt button
does not work either. I have to power cycle the system back. Now
I can get into the kernel debugger other times, so I know that is working.
Here are some of the hardware configs:
COMPAQ AlphaServer DS10 466 MHz, 462MHz
CPU: EV6 (21264) major=8 minor=4 extensions=0x303<BWX,FIX,MVI,PRECISE>
real memory = 1071144960 (1046040K bytes)
pci0: <ATI Rage128-RE graphics accelerator> at 17.0 irq 47
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: interrupting at ISA irq 12
psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
If I use the ati driver or the generic vga driver in the XF86Config file,
I get the same results. The log file does not get created, but on the
console screen, it gets to right before this line:
(--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 16777218.0)
