I *just* finished a working XFree86 config on my PC164, which happens to have the same MGA card you have. (At least the ID strings match.) On my machine, I have it in the 2nd 32-bit PCI slot and it shows as "at 5.0 irq 2" Granted if you do "Xfree86 -configure" it will still machine check, but of course this is not unexpected. Oops. (What was that a few days ago about Alphas not liking to have thir address space blindly groped at.. ;) ) Since the Matrox has no other jumpers, only thing I'd suggest is to try the 2nd 32-bit slot, where it works for me. Somewhat unrelated, but when I fire up this card in X, there is some bizarre distortion of vertical lines and of text inside xterms. The window borders look something like: +------------- | | | #some text here | | #more text here | ...and the text is "wiggly" in the same manner.
