linux 2.2.8/2.2.9 oddities

[Jack Howarth]

   Is anyone else seeing oddities in the graphics of Linux 2.2.8
and 2.2.9 on G3s? Under the new Reference Release 1.0, the supplied
Linux 2.2.6 kernel works fine however when I build either 2.2.8
or 2.2.9 from the kernel sources I have the following problem.
When using bootx with the kernel flags below...

video=atyfb:vmode:13,cmode=1 adb_buttons=1

...which always as worked fine in the past, the video comes up
with the console text shifted over by about 4/5ths to the right
of the screen and wrapped around from the left. It would seem
that something is broken now in atyfb.
