Glad to know it works. I'll look into this init problem. Note that you
may want to try increasing slightly the mclk value. It defaults to 50,
but some users got it working well at 55. for some reason, the speed
difference can be important.

Tell me if you have lots of transmitter timeout. If you don't have them

several hours of use.

Ani Joshi has written some mach64 fbdev. accel support for XF4. It should
be available when someone (Howarth) package 4.0.1 for ppc.
Ben.
