I'm not sure I understand your question.

That is because it wasn't a brilliant question and when I say screen
I mean monitor. Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to figure out
if the thing was external to the PCI card (i.e. in the monitor) or internal
(i.e. DAC). But since I am not familiar with the domain I don't know
how to ask the questions properly.

Anyway is there a way to probe for that FP thing? or to distinguish
between them?

about they most you can get on the savage is detecting whether or not
there is a panel attached and what size the panel is.  AFAIK, there's
no way to detect the panel specifics.  However, if we got some more
datapoints and found that most panels need the plls tweaked to a
certain range we could probably handle it more gracefully.  You could
probably even get it working now if you used a special modeline.

Perhaps if we had a few more testers we
could figure out a pattern for common panels and put in some sort of
generic fix.

I don't mind produce more data or test things as long as I have the
equipment...
