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.
