Sorry, but AFAIK, the XFree86 Version 3.3.1 has no built in support for the
Mystique card. There are three possible solutions for this problem.
1. Get the S.U.S.E X-server which has the the support for teh Mystique. This
will be difficult, because S.U.S.E. has removed the files from there ftp
server because the support is built in in XFree86 Version 3.3.2
2. Upgrade to hamm - hamm has the Version 3.3.2 as default
3. Download the new 3.3.2 XF86_SGVA server binary from xfree.org. Replace
the original binary from the Debian package with this one. This is
probably the easiest way to get your Mystique working (I've made it this
way) but you should keep in mind, that you have done an "upgrade" without
the dpkg tool, and this could lead to problems when doing the next
upgrade.
