Yeah, that just makes it simply not program the PLL at all.

I just booted Linus's current tree on my Samsung 216BW and it works
just fine.  I'll try a few other monitors I have.

If you have the time can you try these two tests?

1) In atyfb_setup_sparc(), comment out the whole block of code protected
   by:

	if (IS_XL(pdev->device)) {
		/*
		 * Fix PROMs idea of MEM_CNTL settings...
		 */

2) Force the:

	dp = pci_device_to_OF_node(pdev);
	if (dp == of_console_device) {

   test to fail.

I've always been suspect of all of the special mode and MEM_CNTRL handling
we have here for Sparc.  If disabling it fixes stuff, I'd happily see this
code get tossed out completely.

Thanks!
