I have a machine here with what I _think_ is an XPERT@Work and cat
/proc/pci reports:

Bus 1, device 0, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Mach64 GB (rev 92).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=8.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe3000000 [0xe3000008].
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe2000000 [0xe2000000].

The Mach64 GB is not mentioned in the atyfb driver. I must confess I
haven't tried it though, I'm just using the vgacon on that machine.
