Hello,

I have attempting to port a system my company develops to Fedora for quite some 
time and have always been stuck on getting the geode video driver working 
properly (the VESA driver has always worked for me though).  So recently we 
updated the WinXP graphics driver on this same system and it produced the same 
problem that xorg-amd*/xorg-geode* have always given me where the colors were 
just not displayed properly and has a fuzzy appearance on the panel.  So after 
a few months of debugging the XP driver, AMD discovered that our system doesn't 
like the default value written to the PAD_SELECT_REGISTER when the driver is 
setting the panel timings.  Their solution was to read the values first and OR 
them with the default values.  So I made this change to 2.10.0 and it worked 
like a charm (with a custom xorg.conf).

I have attached the modified cim_vg.c file that I modified in 2.10.0 which 
works on my system, but I'm wondering how safe this change is and also if this 
is could be a sign of other problems.  We are using General Soft. BIOS on our 
LX800/CS5535.  I couldn't find much information on the pad select register, so 
any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt Mitchell
