Ah my fbdev ignorance shows.  I messed with this lots this weekend and 
I'm pretty sure its a bios thing and not the driver.

In other news I gust got word today from ATI that I can release my code 
under GPL.  Woohoo!   I'm about to start porting over some dos code I 
have that is supposed to do a biosless init of the M1 for inclusion into 
LinuxBIOS.  I'll also try and add the same thing into atyfb when I have 
it all working.

Thanks for all your help.
