bk fbdev-2.5 doesn't boot

I have three computers: a desktop system with Matrox G400, a laptop with 
Rage Mobility (mach64) and another laptop with Rage LT-Pro. I can't get 
the fbdev-2.5 bk tree to boot on any of the systems.

The only reason for even trying the bk tree is that I need to get atyfb 
working on the laptops. 2.4.24 atyfb works with the laptops. 2.6 vanilla 
and mm work just fine with vesafb and matroxfb but atyfb in those trees is 
seriously out of date. With the bk tree only vgacon works :(

Does someone have an atyfb-only patch against mm?

No matter. I just dropped the driver from fbdev-2.5 to mm and it seems to 
work fine for the most part. I had to disable hw cursor because it oopsed 
due to missing info->cursor.image.data. Just setting it to 
cursor->image.data allowed me to boot but the cursor wasn't working right 
so I just made it use the sw cursor instead.


Now my only problem is with XCLK on my Mobility. The BIOS inits the chip 
to use ~63 MHz XCLK but atyfb claims that the BIOS tables specify 125 MHz. 
The laptop in question is a HP OmniBook 6000 and there are two models: 
full model with 125 MHz XCLK + 8MB SDRAM, and the crippled model with 
XCLK cut in half + 4MB SDRAM (32-bit).

I have attached an XFree86 log with the BIOS dump if someone can figure 
out if it contains something that would help autodetect the XCLK. If this 
doesn't help I can bug my friend for the 125 MHz model BIOS dump for 
comparison.
