I've played with my XF86Config quite a bit at this point and it still is
not operating with 1400x1050 resolution. I've tried the config below with
my T23 and the best I can get is 1024x768.  When the machine boots, its
not recognizing as Super Savage, it's seeing it as vga.  Notice from the
pciconf output below it's not being recognized properly.  X is working,
but not at optimum level.  Anyone know how to get the video to be
recognized as Super Savage.
