linux display driver for M810LMR motherboard/prosavage4 graphics

[PW Armstrong]

well, tracked down the latest drivers (OK, OK, they're old) at 
http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=18&CatID=2080&SubCatID=111, 
and installed them.

didn't make any difference, still can't change the resolution above 
800x600, what step(s) am I missing?  in fact, after changing the video 
card type to s3 savage4/savage, it reverted back to VESA driver 
(generic).  obviously I've screwed up some where

any and all help is appreciated
