The bug is a pain - but is a simple patch to fix it if you want to build the Xserver
for the permedia2 yourself. Literally - is a one line edit (change 80 to 0x80 !!)

Building it yourself *may* have the advantage that you can use egcs and get yerself
a pentium/p-II optimised version?

ps  - a thought that occured is that you maybe left the modes in the order set up by
xf86config? Try CTRL-ALT-PLUS to try switching modes
