Good to know about this *before* getting speared by it :-). Thanks!

This brings to mind a question: the SiS 6326 card has a jumper to
enable/disable INTA. The users' manual says nothing about what the
jumper setting does otherwise, and makes no recommendation as to the
desired setting. It's currently enabled because it came out of the
box that way and I successfully used the card in a x86 box with that
setting. Any recommendations? If not, I'll give it a try "as is".

Will do. I'm getting the final Xorg 7.0.X pieces installed as I type
this. (I want to get the current card working with the new software
before I start messing with a different card.)
