Try this patch and let me know.

video=atyfb:comp_sync:<n>,vert_sync:<n>,hor_sync:<n>

n = 0 (low), 1 (high)
I've tested with the following combinations:
- append="video=atyfb:comp_sync:1,1024x768@70"
  Works perfectly: csync is high and good display.
- append="video=atyfb:comp_sync:1,hor_sync:1,vert_sync:0,1024x768@70"
  csync is high, but for some reason not hsync; display is good.
Okay, it seems that overriding the vsync and hsync settings is useless in
atyfb as it has its own algo to do that:

	if(vdisplay < 400) {
		h_sync_pol = 1;
		v_sync_pol = 0;
	} else if(vdisplay < 480) {
		h_sync_pol = 0;
		v_sync_pol = 1;
	} else if(vdisplay < 768) {
		h_sync_pol = 0;
		v_sync_pol = 0;
	} else {
		h_sync_pol = 1;
		v_sync_pol = 1;
	}

I'll trim the patch for csync only.
- append="video=atyfb:1024x768@70,comp_sync:1"
  Same results as first test.

The sync settings were checked with 'fbset -i'.

BTW, the mode string should always be the last parameter, ie;

video=atyfb:comp_sync:1,1024x768@70
Hmmm. Wonder why you say that (considering the result of my last test).
My mistake then.  Thanks for verifying.
Should these new options also be documented in Documentation/fb/?
I'll add this and fix a few buglets when I push upstream.
