It  fails only  if  compiled  as module. I  see  that fb_find_mode  (and
my_atoi) are marked  as __init. Maybe they get discarded  after boot and
when  radeonfb module  tries  to call  them it  ends  up in  deallocated
memory...

Exactly, they should definitely not be marked __init

When booting  with radeonfb  compiled in  the screen  is shifted  on the
left. At 1024x768 it is shifted by 2 characters:

hStart = 1048, hEnd = 1184, hTotal = 1344
vStart = 771, vEnd = 777, vTotal = 806
h_total_disp = 0x7f00a7 hsync_strt_wid = 0x910422
v_total_disp = 0x2ff0325 vsync_strt_wid = 0x860302
pixclock = 15384
freq = 6500
post div = 0x4
fb_div = 0x74
ppll_div_3 = 0x20074
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48

At 1280x768  (native res of my  LCD - now it  works) it is shifted  by 3
chars:

This is very  annoying because I must re-center the  screen every time I
switch from  console to X and  viceversa. I had the same  issue with the
old driver + i2c code.

That doesn't happen with the standard modedb. At 1024x768 with
ignore_edid it's ok. At 1280x1024 it falls back to 800x600.

Can you try tweaking the hSync and vSync polarity ?

Ben.
