I have a different model of appilan jeronimo (the pm2 based one), but I will
mention that on my card there are two jumpers which control whether the
heads actually identify as VGA - heads without this set show up as 
0000:03:01.0 Display controller: Texas Instruments TVP4020 [Permedia 2] (rev 01)
instead of VGA controller.... X will init them either way, however 
(the jumper exists, according to the manual, because windows 95 cares).
