My question to you is: why do you want to spend your time on this when you
can buy a *much* higher end card than a Mach for <$40 US?  Your time is
worth than that, even if you are a student.

One of the primary time-wasters in open-source is that developers spend a
lot of time on support for hardware which is obsolete.  When obsolete
hardware was much cheaper than brand new hardware, this support for was
important.  Now, however, that difference is pretty minimal.  Buy a new
card and save yourself lots of pain.
