This may not be possible if running the BIOS emulator in SRM actually
hangs the machine; and it WILL try to run the BIOS if it finds a VGA
on bus #0... :-\

Actually, Visiontek (XTASY brand ;-) made a PCI 9100 that works quite
well under Xorg (6.8.1 and 6.8.2), and it runs at 66MHz in my DS15.
Unfortunately, on that machine it HAS to be in bus #1 (the only bus
with slots), and the 3D support is broken... :-(
