Hi,

You'd have to create your own configuration file on that machine.
(but XFree86 -configure *might* give you something to start with.)

I'm afraid there is little hope that it will actually work given
that the AS4100 has a fairly unique set of PCI ASICs that have
not been tested much (if at all) with XFree86.

What I'd do is to get XFree86 4.5.0-RC2 tarball from XFree86,
build it and try with the Option "NoInt10" "true". This
works at least on one of my alphas. I'll try the AS4100
later ...
