** are you cycling around in win2k?  Then it works - but ONLY after
win2k comes up.  There clearly is some proprietary code that S3 has
not released OR is only available in the PDISPLAY.EXE and PDTRAY.EXE
programs that IBM supplies with win2k.

If you try this in Linux, there is not cycle - you toggle between
crt and lcd but not both.

ps - the t30 chip.. is that a S3 SuperSavage IX/MX ???
That's what I have on the t23.
