The CD installer should be able to upgrade your installation of you can
get the tarballs and simply unpack them ( remember tar's p option to get
permissions right and either skip etc.tgz or backup your changes in /etc
)  but I don't see how this would help to get X11 going.=20

Cards like yours can certainly be made to work, but this needs -current
and some work, you'd have to patch the kernel source and either patch
and recompile X or get binaries from me. Even then there's no guarantee
of anything. Mach64-based videocontrollers shouldn't need PIO-access,
all registers the driver needs are available via MMIO so the reason why
it doesn't work for you may still be something completely different.=20

have fun
Michael
