Well, I haven't gotten as far as dumping the registers, but I came across Permedia2VPreInit in pm2v_dac.c, and forced it to call Permedia2VPreInitSecondary(pScrn) unconditionally. I also changed a few things seemingly related to linux-kernel-headers to get the thing to compile, and it improved the situation. Now there is a mild amount of distortion and flicker. The really bad part is that if I drag an open window, it will turn into a block of noise, somewhat related to the colors of the root window. Also, X now detects 8 megs of memory on that card.
