I have a 333 MHz Lombard, and I boot with the arguments:
video=atyfb:vmode:16,cmode:32,mclk:97
When I'm all booted up, I tweak the display through fbset. If you have
an /etc/fb.modes full of valid modes, try doing the following:
fbset "1024x768-75"
fbset -pixclock 13400
fbset -accel true
The pixclock setting was something I came to after tweaking
"1024x768-75" until no static was visible in X.
If anyone else has better display options, I'd love to hear them.
My options work well for me (with XFree86 FBDev server), but it
would be a little nicer if it were faster.
