I was unsuccessful in getting the PGX64 to work using the mach64 driver,
fortunately however there is the fbdev framebuffer driver which works fine.

So now I have a LXDE desktop on my Ultra5.

I was advised that trying to pursue the ATI Rage mach64 path is not
worthwhile.
There are lots of support issues lurking around the corner in a year or two.

So as a next step, I'm going to try to get a Sparkle GeForce 9500 GT 512MB
PCI video card working.

Really happy that my old Ultra5 machine still has some relevance.
