My CRT is out of sync after radeonfb from 2.6.13-rc5 is initialized. 
2.6.12 does not show this behaviour.

I'm out of town at the moment, could you maybe diff radeonfb between
working & non-working and CC me the diff ? I don't have my work stuff at
hand not my kernel images so...

There were no changes in radeonfb.c, but I could trace to to 
CONFIG_PREEMPT. With _NONE, it works as expected.

Ah ! Interesting... I don't see why PREEMPT would affect radeonfb
though ... Can you try something like wrapper radeon_write_mode() with
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() and tell me if it makes a
difference ?

Ben.
