  Without the BusID line the XServer will disable the pci memory/io

What probably happens is that even with the BusID defined the xserver
still disables your card.

We'll see if that's a problem; right now it hangs earlier.

  Earlier than what ? The Xserver does its pci magic (badly in this
case it seems) very early, by the time you reach fbdevHWModeInit
its already done.

The PCI warnings that you get most likely will tell us where the problem
is, can you send the logfile over ?

Relevant log excerpt:

    Here is the problem, for some reason the xserver doesn't like
the pci mem/io mappings for the card and "corrects" them :(
