Applied, compiled, rebooted, configured, and tested. It doesn't crash now, 
thanks. A few things, though.

Can I expect this to work in 2.4.1? I like 2.4, it has devfs and the new 
input layer.

I'm using the fbdev driver now, but it's unaccelerated, and unusable. I think 
my kernel arguments are right: video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:32 
I was told somewhere that the mclk is optional. it seems to default to 100. I 
tried a mclk of 71, and it was still unaccelerated. I have the 'no video 
driver' and stuff in bootx set up right.

The reason I'm using the fbdev driver is because the ati driver fails, the 
relevant errors are:
(EE) ATI(0): Unable to determine dimensions of panel (ID 0).
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
