Hi all,

I have a ThinkPad T22 with S3 Savage/IX-MV graphics. The new kernel
version 2.6.10 has a frame buffer module for it. After several attempts
I have managed to get it to work, but I only get the 800x600 resolution
instead of the 1024x768 I'd like to have.

Does anybody know what kernel parameters I have to use ? I have
unsuccessfully tried it with "video=savage:1024x768@60".

Here are the interesting parts of the boot log:

Thanks in advance.
