Just to make things clear, this "IVAD" chip is not the video chip, it's controlling the CRT itself, but the machine uses a normal video card (r128 of GeForceII MX in iMac's and eMacs respectively), so the problem isn't hacking a video driver for that chip, but havign a way to drive that motherboard-specific chip when the video mode changes in one of those 2 drivers Implementing a "hack" directly in the driver code is easy, ugly, and not something that would be accepted upstream I beleive. However I don't know XFree infrastructure well enough to find out a "clean" way to hook on the mode change.
