Alpha Core 1.0a

[Sergey Tikhonov]

Thank you for checking.

I got it work on my S3 card. The problem I found in generic vga handling 
code. It doesn't use any of memory barriers and I
got it working by puting output of checkpoint messages into a code. I 
guess it added some delays between memory access and
Xserver started to work.
