My mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-5AA and CPU is AMD-K6-3/450.
/proc/pci has the video card OK:

  Bus  0, device   8, function  0:
VGA compatible controller: Tseng Labs Inc ET4000/W32p rev C (rev 0).
  IRQ 11.
  Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xef00 [0xefff].
 
Works OK with xfree86 3.3.6.

I have not built xfree86 before. I read your instructions and I think
I should be able to follow them sometime in June.

Done. Please let me know if /tmp/output arrives.
I checked it and it appears correct (ie wrong).

Sorry to be so slow in responding.
Thanks for your good work in tracking down bugs.
