male certain that your Mach64 is upgradable to 4 Meg - if it is not it
isn't a Win Turbo. I had the same problem because my vendor (a system
manuf) was calling all of his Mach64 cards Win Turbo - When X would
boot the screen would turn whitish and the sys would lock up. You can
always use Generic SVGA
