Re: "Fixed" XF86_FBDev for Lombard?
Hi Shaw. I'm currently using the 3.3.5 version of XFree from linuxppc, and a
fairly recent 2.2.13 kernel I compiled myself using rsync source. Kernel args
are video=atyfb:vmode:16,cmode:24,mclk:70 adb_buttons=55,58 hda=autotune
I have often gotten similar video junk, but with this current setup, the only
video distortion I seem to get is with highlighted text in a dialog box.
