Enjoy! I don't know what the purpose of this patch is but it copies the pre-LCD version of the code in mach64_ct.c into the xlinit.c code of 2.6. This is not the var_to_pll code. This code affects the display fifo and can cause wrong image if incorrectly programmed, but has nothing to do with initializing the chip. The pre-LCD code caused several problems for both i386 and non-i386 laptops, and should not be reused. Also, Geert Uytterhoeven has said that he developed the pre-LCD by trial and and not by design. The post-LCD code is derived from the XFree86 driver, it is supposed to work fine if X works.
