Well, I can stare at it some....  But the last time I worked on X
drivers it was X11R3, and it was on a VAXstation-II... that should
tell you how long ago it was.

If someone can walk me through what needs to be done, I can
see about writing the code (or restructuring it, if it is already
present in the SiS drivers and just needs to be generalized) and
testing it.

BTW:  Does anyone have access to standard timing modes for
the various TV standard modes (i.e. 1280x720p, etc) for HD,
ATSC, PAL/SECAM, NSTC-M and -J, etc.

Thanks,
