Hello,

These are very good news ! I was becoming crazy with this fbdev driver :p

I have compiled the driver with Francisco's patch and your xorg.conf, 
i's not
segfaulting anymore but the screen is flickering (frequency pb ?).

Xorg.0.log attached. The only weird thing I can see is :
(WW) SMI(0): invalid frequency 157.000 MHz  [freq <= 135.000 MHz]

If anyone has an idea :)

Cheers
Erwan
