James,
        You may have to change the membase option in /etc/X/XF86Config.
You can find it by "cat /proc/pci" and looking for your video card's memory
base. (In this case 0x9400000)

 Bus 0, device 7, function 0:
    VGA compatible controller: DEC TGA2 (rev 34).
      Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 1f. Master Capable. Latency=255. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=64.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x9400000 [0x9400000].
