Hi Chris,

as fas as I know the PGX64 is identical to a ATI 3D Rage XL. I had the
same difficulties you mentioned with my Blade 150 and the onboard
graphic (yes, it's the same one). In my special case there was no modul
"mach64" because of security reasons in the debian netinstall kernel. I
found a "FATAL: Module mach64 not found." in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

I solved this by getting the sources form 

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2

building an new kernel with mach64 support an installing it on the blade
150. My xorg.conf is the following one:

gdm is up and running. I just made the installation yesterday, but it
seems running stable.

Have a nice day
