ATI Mach 64 video cards on AS 500/333's?

Hi, our third-party vendor sold us AlphaStation 500/333's, then
when we told them they didn't ship us graphic cards, they sent
us a bunch of ATI Graphics Expressions Mach64's.

The machines came with DU 3.2G preinstalled.

We have 4 indentical workstations. On one of them, X windows comes
up, but the resolution is only 1024x768, not the 1280x1024 touted by
the card. Setting the Xservers file to include a '-screen0 1280' didn't
do anything.

On another one, X windows doesn't start up at all!

This is driving me crazy! Is the ATI Mach64 with PCI (NOT EISA!)
compatible with the AS 500's and if so, what do I need to do to
get it working at the max resolution? Do I need to install any
special driver or...?????


Thanks for your help and experience!
