During the PCMCIA installation, you are asked to enter any
card-specific options as well as a controller type, e.g. i82365.
After these options are entered and the card services are
installed, you can then configure the Network. If the install
process doesn't prompt you directly, you can choose it from the
list of alternative options below the recommended options in the
installation script. You don't specify the module to load, it is
automatically detected by the card services. If it doesn't
detect the correct card module, you can go into a console from
the installation script and make some changes to the pcmcia
config options to help the auto-detect process.

Are you installing xdm for your display manager? You need a
display manager.
Also, the Mach64 xserver must be installed,
apt-get install xserver-mach64
This will run you through the setup of the video card, monitor,
mouse, and set this to be your default server.
