Scrolling and screen clearing. If the machine is loaded the screen may not clear all of the way.
I have the following enabled: CONFIG_FB_ATY=y CONFIG_FB_ATY_CT=y
I get this on starup: atyfb: using auxiliary register aperture atyfb: 3D RAGE IIC (AGP) [0x475a rev 0x7a] 8M SDRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 230 MHz
If you need me to try anything just ask.
