I normally use the XF86_SVGA X-server as I read that XF86_S3V is
depreciated, but I used the S3V server a year ago or so.  I'll try the
generic monitor, and I'll try to pinpoint what in the patch causes the
error.

P.S. I must recommend the driver and the KGI(con) system that it uses
the hardware to its maximum. Using this driver I was able to set
1280x1024x16, which I can't set in Windows or using XF86_SVGA. It made
the monitor roll around, though. A slight modification to 1270x1024x16
cured that, but the refresh rate still makes it unusable.
