Hi,

my Radeon 7500 )OEM) reports a minimum dot clock of 20 MHz to the driver
while in reality it doesn't have a problem producing these dot clocks
(to e.g. drive a TV set). I have filed this at
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=831 and attached a patch to the
entry that implements an option "ForceMinDotClock" for the Radeon driver
and documents it (and it's theoretical potential for hardware damage) in
the Radeon man page.

It would be great if people could review the patch (for potential future
inclusion in XFree86 CVS)-- it worked as expected for me, but it would
be even better if more people could look at it. 

Thanks,
Nils
