Yes you rigth but ....

I made some checks .... when i start the computer ... only TV is attached ... 
starts in NTSC-J ... lilo menu is in gray color ... and all the console 
programs are in gray. 

If I run s3switch, continues all in gray, only if I run startx changes to 
PAL .. and then console commands are in PAL with the correct colors,
but with sync problems in TV :-(

I was try to using kernel savagefb in different modes or without but still 
with sync problems. 

Anyway I will continue cheking
