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.

My mistake then.  Thanks for verifying.

I'll add this and fix a few buglets when I push upstream.
