Need Help - S3 KM133 CTX MS700 Combo

Need help on this one and fast!

I got to know a guy who just opened a computer store down the street
from me. He has local storefront i one of the big grocery stores in the
area so he gets lots of traffic. To make a long story short, I got him a
copy of FC1 and he was willing to install it on a PC in his front window
for everyone to see.

Well guess what, he has a motherboard and monitor combo that is driving
FC1 nutz! It an S3 (Savage) KM133 on-board video set with a CTX MS700
flat screen display. When using the default settings, X comes up in a
mode that is beyond the monitor. I can't figure out how to get it to do
what it's supposed to - display something. It's forcing itself to
1152x864 at 75MHz - and those settings aren't listing anywhere in
XF86Config that I can find.

Switching the driver to the standard vesa driver (same XF86Config file
except I replace the line "driver savage" with "driver vesa") at least
gets me a 1024x768 24-bit picture, but it's unaccelerated, so games like
Tux Racer are horrible. Help! This guy is interested in selling PCs with
Linux and Fedora is making him have second thoughts!

Cheers,

Chris Williams
