So have I, but I got mine a year ago or so. So it's working. Recompiling
the kernel with miata optimization and keeping keyboard supports seems
hard.

I tried several mach64:s (and a couple of others) before I got one that
actually worked. I never actually learing anything about vga-adapters.
Just trial and error with cards that friends could spare.

I'm not sure exactly what differs the mach64 i got working with those
that didn't. But if it is of any help to you lspci says:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP (rev 5c)

Not really a recommendation, but I can report that my card works with
1600x1200x24 at least. I think it's unaccelerated. I havn't tried optimizing
performance or anything.
I'm using XFree 4.
Good luck!
