Both the fbdev and ati driver use the fbdvhw functions to do mode init and
the like. So it seems the bug is in the kernel driver (sorry Geert).

I don't see how it can be in the kernel driver, if running 3.3.6 XF68FB_Dev
changes the contents of the DSP registers.

Which doesn't use any fbdev IOCTLs to do mode init (via setting the var
screeninfo), I gather?

It's the _fbdev_ server, so it does use the ioctl()s.
