I'd like to see this also, as I have a fixed-scan 19 inch monitor.. Just
some general guidelines to hack it myself would do the trick. Where's
the mode setting code? Syscons.c?

I know this is a major kludge, but I got an old 8 bit card, cut off
the edge connector with a hack saw and ran wires from the IRQ switch
on an ordinary serial card to the high IRQ pins on the "CD" connector
of the ISA bus by tack soldering them on the cut-off edge connector
and plugging it into the CD connector. . Worked just fine for years.
