I'm trying to run X on a thin-client with the cyrix MediaGX chipset. It 
currently runs NetBSD 1.5.1 and XFree 4.1.0, but X refuses to start :(

The device is configured as follows:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Cyrix MediaGX"
    Driver      "cyrix"
    Chipset     "mediagx"
    BusID       "PCI:0:12:4"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "Cyrix MediaGX"
    Monitor     "HITACHI CM620ET"
    DefaultDepth 8

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1024x768"
        Virtual         1024 768
        ViewPort        0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

When I attempt to start X, it dies with the following message:
(end of /var/log/XFree86.0.log)

(II) LoadModule: "cyrix"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/cyrix_drv.o

CYRIX: Device Sections found: 1
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

The messages above this appear normal (The don't include any (WW) og (EE) 
messages)

When I run X -configure, it generates a slightly different config-file:
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "cyrix"
        Chipset     "cyrix"
        VendorName  "Cyrix"
        BoardName   "5530 Kahlua Video"
        BusID       "PCI:0:12:4"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     8
                Modes   "1024x768"
                Virtual 1024 760
                ViewPort        0 0
        EndSubSection
EndSection

However, if I try to start X with this configuration, the system locks up 
completely, without any error- or warning-messages being printed.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? (OR wether it is at all possible
to run X on a mediaGX-system)
