If it helps, I got the original message; I've still marked it "to be
answered" - I didn't find the time earlier, sorry.

Nice, I've applied it now, thanks!
BTW have you noticed I enhanced the accelerant API a bit and added
B_GET_EDID_INFO, B_GET_MONITOR_INFO, and B_GET_PREFERRED_DISPLAY_MODE
hooks? This can be used to make sure that the app_server will default
to the native display resolution, if possible.
Would that be possible with the Savage driver as well? I've already
adapted the Intel Extreme and the Radeon driver.
Bye,
Axel.
