Questions: is it any better if you pull out the NVIDIA card?
Apparently X has an interpreter to run the real-mode video card BIOS,
even from 64-bit userspace. So it should work.
Is the Silicon Motion your primary device or is that the NVIDIA?
If it's the NVIDIA then I guess that device is not being initialised
before boot, which might help. It might help if you told us exactly what
you were trying to do with the two cards.
(Actually, tell debian-x since they are far more likely to be able to
help.)
