The patch has updates for the ATI Rage 128, Control, and Platnium 
framebuffer driver. The Radeon patch adds PLL times for the R* series of
cards. Memory is now safe to allocate for the software cursor and inside 
fbcon. There still are issues with syncing which cause the cursor on some 
systems to become corrupt sometimes. 

Where can I find working "modelines" for Radeon 8500?

I have a 
   radeonfb: ATI Radeon 8500 QL DDR SGRAM 64 MB

I am interested in 1024x768 and 1152x864. I have tried the defaults
that come with Debian fbset (2.1-8) but I get garbled screen upon
changing the video mode. I can 'clear' the console and work more or
less normally but the viewport will be just a part of the whole
screen.

Thanks,
florin
