that fix is in vgas3.c now

ATI does make other bits, and vgamach64xx.c checks a list of
known device IDs, but unfortunately checks only the first ATI device it finds.
that's why i asked about any other messages, because it
distinguishes two cases in mach64xxlinear.
i also wonder what happens with multifunction devices.
if the Aptiva boots showing the PCI device list, seeing that might help
to work out what happened.
