Thanks, Sergey! :-)

But:

1. Did you check the log for the line:

> checking whether to include PIO support... yes, PIO

2. I thought we were using version xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1???

I'm sure there's not much difference between that and 6.6.2-4, so it
prolly doesn't matter...

There has been a lot of reworking of the mach64 code in the ati_misc
driver in ati git master.  Any adventurous alpha testers would be
welcome. Patches welcome too :)
