I'm seeing this problem in an entire lab of computers with S3 cards. Is there any chance this will be fixed in the future, or is there any code we can sling to fix the problem? Granted, I can use the non-LPP kernel just fine (and we are), but we would like graphic boot-up for school non-technical reasons.
