I don't know if this is the right place -- but I'll put it out to all takers.

I've got an STB Lightspeed card (ET4000-W32p) running on 2.2-GAMMA with
XFree86's XF86_W32 server.  The card works nicely (actually, I was getting
wierd problems with the S3Trio64v and this seems more stable in this machine).

Anyway, I'm running PCVT and I found the card now does 132 column (NEAT!)
vt100 emulation.  The pcvt code talks about ET400 - but not the W32p
so it may just be an accident it works.

However, once I run X -- the sync rate is screwed up and 132 is no good.

Anyone seen this or have recommendations.  I know the pcvt for FreeBSD
2.2 is different than the pcvt-3.32.tar.gz I've got -- anyone know if this
is fixed in a newer version than 3.20-b24 that's in 2.2-GAMMA.
I'd love both X and 132 columns without a reboot.
