don't worry about it.  I'm happy to help.

I've got the docs, but I can't give them out.  All the relevant
registers are documented in the patch.  I think the problem lives in
the output<->dac mapping, but I haven't had to time to dig into it.=20
take a look at radeon_driver.c in the RADEONInit*() and
RADEONRestore*() functions.  probably the crtc1 and crtc2 variants.=20
Let me know if you need any advice or need help understanding any
chunks of the code.  Seriously.  There are no dumb questions if you
don't understand the code.
