Hi,

The problem at hand is savagefb. The specific model is 0x5333:0x8d01
(twisterP).
I am using a recent enough kernel and I am trying to use fb through SDL.

[snip]

Any ideas on how should I proceed to make the S3 savage work with my
monitors,
and preferably with any monitor?

For example since X / Bios combination works is it possible to get into
the right
mode and then dump the registers somehow for examination or for later
feeding?

If you can somehow dump the registers of the working and non-working mode,
we might be able find a pattern.

If you don't know how to dump the register contents, let me know and I'll
send you a userspace utility to do that.

Is it possible for the kernel driver to use Bios switching?

Currently, no.

Tony
