This is odd. The card never gets idle but X keeps working so the card is 
not locked.

We really need to add variable that indicated if DMA is working or not so 
that we can fallback to MMIO when it fails.

I wonder if these different behaviours regarding the FIFO & DMA are 
related to specific mach64 chip versions?

Yep. You can't depend on dependencies. Verytime I mess in a header I do

        make -f Makefile.linux clean mach64.o
