I had problems with the cy-visor in different modes on different laptops
and OSes some time back.  When I asked about it on the list, I was referred
to the cy-visor tech specs pdf file, which I jsut put a copy up on

http://www.spic.net/wearables/cy-visor/cyTechSpecs.pdf

I don't have the original link handy, but with the mode chart in the file
I was able to setup xfree86 on my machine supporting all modes.

If anyone has solutions to these two, I'd be interested as well.
