Good to know. I'm using a Radeon HD7870 which works fine now. I have the
same VGA palette corruption occasionally but only until Catalyst driver
is loaded. So it happens sometimes during VGA init if Windows 7 boot
logo is shown with very strange colors and went away if Catalyst driver
is loaded.

No longer required, -vga none with x-vga=on work on your branches fine
now. Not sure if there was something more changed because with original
Fedora 3.9.2 kernel it still doesn't work.
