Just an update, I swapped cards from a couple machines laying around. While doing that i just happened to notice the little jumper on this specific card.. Yeah, Sapphire ati cards have a little jumper for NTSC or PAL settings. Card will now boot up in NTSC mode, (before the bios screen was all black and white), and works with the d972cc92 commit. I wonder if this jumper overrides the process in which the xf86-driver-ati sets the s-video mode or something. Something the ati closed driver overrides. Maybe add a little hint to this condition in the man pages for future users.
