Might be avivo core, Warly could you grab:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/xresprobe-mjg59-0.4.21.tar.gz

Inside there is ddcprobe directory in it compile and launch vbetest
it should report a list of mode remember them (say 800x600, 1024x768)
quit and relaunch with ddcprobe -m modenumber 2> d800x600
do same for other mode and send the files or put them somewhere.
I will take a look and tell you if this is an avivo core.

For all this i think you need to be one 64bits platform or force use
of x86emu (there is switch for doing so). If you need any more help
to run this let me know.

best,
