Yeah, exact same card. I will try the LCD patch, does X work with it?
For me the reason for using FB is X, it wont work otherwise. Why? I don't
know..
Will take this up with X-Pert..!

My experience is almost the same with the following board:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M
AGP 2x
+(rev 64) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
Memory at e6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [50] AGP version 1.0
Capabilities: [5c] Power Management version 1
The PCI id is Ox4d4c, and you?
e.g. I got the famous encrypted white screen with at least 2.4.9 but
now with 2.5.69 + LCD patch posted recently, it's much better. I get
half the screen duplicated verticaly but with correct resolution.
I guess this is a modesetting problem?

You should try the 2.5.69+patch...
Note that I had to disable everything else but the ATY driver (VESA,
VGA16,
framebuffer virtual).
