I have a problem when I try and run X (Debian 4.2.1-11 20030829103906). My
config uses the Glint driver with UseFBDev true, and works fine on 2.4.22. It
fails on 2.6 like this:

The lfb and MMIO addresses are correct. Now, I've new to this game and may have
missed filling out a structure field somewhere. But I'm dammed if I can see
what.

It's occurred to me that maybe this just doesn't work and I need an updated
fbdevhw. Do I? Or should it really Just Work?
It should just work, certainly does here with the radeon driver and
radeonfb. I'd add some debugging output to the framebuffer device and/or
fbdevHW.
