I'm hoping this isn't too old hat; i looked in the mailing list archives
and i found some info which i wasn't sure applied in this case or not.
I have a PCI-AV264CT card with is basically an ATI Mach 64 video card
combined with a Creative Labs Vibra 16S sound card, which goes on this
extended PCI slot on my ASUS motherboard.  When i booted 2.1-stable,
the video would crap out; i think i read that this was because of conflicts
when sio[0-3] were probed.  I solved the problem by installing
2.2-SNAP-960612.  Now it'll boot, but X won't run with XF86_Mach64;
the monitor will go black and i'll be unable to switch between vtys.
A copy of the output from startx follows:

I tried using XF86_SVGA instead, and that runs, but my display is wholly
munged.   I had also read that getting the latest beta servers from XFree86
should fix this, but i'm really unwilling to put a beta server on my beta OS
unless i "have to" :-\  Apologies if this is more of a general question than
a -current specific question.  Thanks for any help.
