I have similar problem with two years old VIA motherboard. Same
configuration works with W2000 without problems (1280x1024 - however I'm
not sure if all data is transfered thru PCI, or is low resolution image
transfered and zoomed by backend-scaler on graphics card).

I have other problems with PCI on this board, like:
   any access to AGP card (Matrox G200) hogs the bus so audio is distorted
   and serial ports overrun (setting pci_retry in XF86Config helps a bit
   but not much)

Is KX133 a VIA chipset?

BTW, I remember somebody pointed to some VIA BIOS sources or
documentation, but the files were no longer there after few days. Has
anybody had a look at it?
