The fbdev code in the glint driver is hardcoded to work with the
permedia2 chip only, which is not the one you have.
Mostly the glint driver interacts ok with fbdevs, without need for the
UseFBDev line.
Branden, do you think i should send you a patch for 4.2 which test for
people specifying UseFBDev with something other than a permedia2 and
ignore it in this case ?
