Machfb attaches but misdetects a whole bunch of things ( like memory  
size ) - kind of similar to machfb attaching to a Rage 128 ( the XL  
has a 64MB aperture, unlike older mach64 which use only 16MB ) - I  
wonder if the XL is some sort of unholy bastard between the two.  
Guess I should read more driver source to see where they special-case  
the XL.

have fun
