[PATCH] 2.4 and 2.5: tdfxfb (voodoo) framebuffer at high pixelclocks

[Jurriaan on Alpha]

This patch solves problems with voodoo-cards and framebuffers where the
pixel-clock is over half the maximum clock, and the DAC is set to a
special mode.

I mentioned this to the developers, Hannu Mallat and Attila Kesmarki,
but they seem to have dropped this, and didn't respond. The latest 3dfx
framebuffer patch didn't apply clean to the 2.4 kernels and didn't work
after I cleaned it up. So I elected to just fix the high pixelclock
problem. If these developers read this, and are still interested in this
driver, please get in touch.

This patch moves the DAC-setting and recomputes some screen properties
when setting the 2X mode on the DAC.

The patch applies cleanly to 2.4.17, 2.4.18pre1 and 2.5.2-pre3.
I'm sending this to Linus (fat chance), Dave Jones (please?) and Marcelo
Tosatti (please?) for inclusion.

It's been tested on a pci voodoo 4500, I can boot with framebuffers with
a pixelclock below and above 175 MHz, start X and switch from X to the
console.

Good luck,
Jurriaan
