Someone chopped on it then because the only place I've ever seen it was 
in the 2.6 tree.  In the 2.6 tree there is an xlinit.c file and a config 
option to compile it but it never shows up in the makefile and never 
gets compiled.  And if it did it would break anyway.

These patches do not appear to be in the 2.4.25 tree.

So I just assumed it was something added for 2.6.  That explains why it 
dosen't compile.  Also the 2.6 tree xlinit.c mentions the Victoria card 
as well as the Xpert98. Did someone add that?

I'm trying to adapt it to a Mobility M1 which is mach64 based.  I've 
ported it to a userspace app, fixed up the compile problems and tried to 
get all the register settings relevant to an M1.  In most cases they are 
identical.   The pll registers seem to be correct because my hsync and 
vsync are good and the right frequency but something still isn't right 
because I only get a blank screen.

If I then load the 2.4.25 atyfb and try to write an image I get a brief 
flash of some scrambled data and then back to a black screen.

Loading X appears to work fine and I have a big white square for a mouse 
cursor which moves around as it should  but still black screen.

I suspect that I have something messed up with my memory settings.
