(time stamp is 11 Feb 2006, 09:17), and there is still some flickering in the
console when text is scrolling by, and there are still red dots in X (and X
still uses a 60 Hz refresh rate while it should use 85).
I'm not sure if Louis' fix is in this kernel, but if it is, then apparently,
there is still something wrong. Louis: which open boot firmware are you using?
According to /proc/openprom/openprom/version, I'm still at OBP 4.0.45 2001/02/08
14:33, could this be an issue for the framebuffer code? If not, then is it
possible that my Ati chip is a slightly different revision than yours?
Yes, Louis' fix should be in this kernel. The actual patch (against
2.6.16-rc2) I've pushed into svn:

I've just checked that it is applied to the actual build tree, so I'm
pretty sure it made it in.
I will now try to build a custom 2.6.16-rc2 (I want to try some bluetooth stuff,
but apparently, 2.6.16-rc2-sparc64 has bluetooth disabled), and I want to make
sure Louis' fix is in there.
Please let us know how it goes. By the way, if you want something enabled
in official kernels, and it's not experimental, just let me know.
