If the RAGE XL is the officially supported video board for the Malta, I
wouldn't have been surprised if its firmware would have contained code to
initialize the RAGE XL. But unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case.

Next question: is there sample code available (e.g. with the `supported' OS for
the Malta) to initialize the RAGE XL?
