The queue check looks for how many entries are free in the queue
by reading the appropriate register in the chip, I should double
check the specs to see if that's done correctly though (or compare
with X, though I do see some artifacts in X here or there, small
but small drawing errors that let me think that X driver isn't
perfect neither. At least it doesn't lockup).

Here's the code in atyfb:

static inline void wait_for_fifo(u16 entries, const struct atyfb_par *par)
{
	while ((aty_ld_le32(FIFO_STAT, par) & 0xffff) >
	       ((u32) (0x8000 >> entries)));
}

Ben.
