Using what X server? I didn't think a stock server supported a vga
card?

Anyway, I'm trying to get mel's X server running on my AXPpci33. The
problem I'm having is that the server on startup attempts to probe
the PCI space. It probes the entire bus 0 OK, but then when it goes
to probe the second PCI bus the machine locks hard. 

Is it an error to probe where a second PCI bus would be if that
second bus existed? IE, is the X server wrong for probing the way
it does?
