Hi bitbytebit,
I've done some tests and definitely is related to OpenGL, as switchres works flawlessly with the -video soft option, but when I use -video openg the screen goes blank. I've saved the logs of both for you to check, as well as the results of the stuff you asked.
This is the output of lspci:

By the way 02:00.1 is an audio device of Ati HD4000's family, I guess it's related to HDMI audio part?

For some reason lscpi only works when I ssh from my notepad to root, but the command is not recognized when from my cab (xterm), where is it supposed to be run? I couldn't either run glxgears or glxinfo, these commands are not recognized.
I won't be able to do tests on the AVGA cab for some days, but I'll post the results as soon as I get them.
I've been able to test the Mame roms included and it works great with mode switching, hopefully this issue is figured out soon as I'm eager to test it at its full capabilities.
