inverted in operation. IOW, with no video turned on (I have a twin
turbo card, OFfb is my only choice in running X), I never get the
OFfb driver, it always insists on loading the imsttfb driver, so X is
impossible.

The IMS TT in my 9600/200mp has never given me any troubles at all with
imsttfb and X. The only quirk is that the dotclock values are off, but read
and write consistently and reliably.

This is using a Linus-2.2.17 with PCI and IDE patches, and the latest
debian-unstable packaging of X.

Well, this is unlike most users of Twin Turbo cards, if the past list
traffic is any measure. Interestingly, I have seen comments before
that the issue is not the imsttfb driver, but X itself. This would
not be inconsistent with your setup, given the debian X. I would love
to get the twin turbo working, I have been waiting for X4 to get far
enough along, but it appears to still be lacking in even
straightforward atyfb support (debugged that is), as per the last I
read. Older ATI Rage Pro card(s) are what else I have, but it won't
do me any good to get one card working if another that I have breaks.
