I updated my Tyan S4882 (quad Opteron, onboard AMD Mach64) and have
lost the ability to run X11 on the desktop.

I'm running a Windows 7 client with Cygwin64/CygwinX as an X11 client
with X11 installed on the server.  So far everything I need to have
working is working, including Windows XP x86 running under VirtualBox.

This might be a solution for others who need to run apps that need
the X11 GUI until they can upgrade their hardware (I'll be switching
to a Tyan S4881 which has PCI-E video slots).
