   Sorry, I guess those first few lines don't really apply, and
I left out the open info and some apparently relevant ioctls:

   404 XF86_S3  CALL  open(0x3c022,0x6,0)
   404 XF86_S3  NAMI  "/dev/vga"
   404 XF86_S3  RET   open 4
   404 XF86_S3  CALL  ioctl(0x4,TIOCCBRK,0)
   404 XF86_S3  RET   ioctl 0
   404 XF86_S3  CALL  ioctl(0x4,0xc0185671 ,0xf7bfdb20)
   404 XF86_S3  RET   ioctl -1 errno 25 Inappropriate ioctl for device
   [ ... ]
   404 XF86_S3  CALL  ioctl(0x4,TIOCSDTR,0)
   404 XF86_S3  RET   ioctl 0
   [ ... ]
   404 XF86_S3  CALL  mmap(0,0x20000,0x3,0,0x4,0,0)

If you need any more info, just let me know.
