"** are you cycling around in win2k? "
No, the machine is Linux only, although it previously had win2k on it.
Under Linux, I had no trouble cycling. But it may be due to the next
statment....
"ps - the t30 chip.. is that a S3 SuperSavage IX/MX ???"
The T30 is the ATI Radeon chip, I think it's the M7.

** 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.
