A have a few patchs for atyfb that I haven't got around to applying just 
yet. One is Popov non BIOS patch for some cards. I have another patch for 
a new DAC for older MACH 64 cards. The big issue I like to see solved is 
to us ethe hardware cursor. Right now I have it disabled, its using 
soft_cursor. I haven't had the time to look at teh specs for how the data 
is layed out for the cursor image. We have in atyfb.h

struct aty_cursor {
	u8 bits[8][64];
	u8 mask[8][64];
	u8 *ram;
}

This is really weird. I like to translate to the new api.

Each pixel in the Mach64 cursor has 4 possible values: transparent, inverting,
color0, or color1. It's size is 64x64, i.e. 64 rows of 8 bits per plane.
