Ok, I built an upstream tree with just the new atyfb in, and it breaks
on the wallstreet powerbook (LT-G) here. I'm not sure what is wrong at
this point, I'd say the clock stuff is incorrectly calculated.

On PPC, you do not have access to BIOS tables. So driver starts with
blowing up since the code for retreiving that from BIOS is unconditional
(it should be X86 only).

I disabled that, but then, the default values (which are the same as the
old driver afaik) don't seem to be enough anymore to produce a correct
output.

Hi, I do not have any information or hardware about PPC. Should it own 
something like OpenFirmware? In this case it is possible to read clock 
information from this.

I found, that we change a little behaviour. Please give a try for this 
patch...
