        That IRQ 0 is probably what's killing it.  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.  Any ideas?
