	I have a PWS500au and I have tested without any success several graphic 
adapter (8bits provided by DEC, a 32 bits PowerStorm, two Matrox...). 
With insecure kernel (7.0.x and current), I have tested Xfree86 and Xorg 
with same results. On better case, X crashes before card initialization 
(cannot map /dev/mem). On worse, system panics.
