From 8bc218410d6c2b22a7581fac6f3dc2ac1f8fc99f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raphael Assenat Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 01:15:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] mbxfb: Fix a chip bug? resulting in wrong pixclock This is a workaround for what I think is a bug in the 2700G chip. The PLL output frequency is adustable using 3 values (M, N and P. See code for formula). The N value range is documented to be 1 to 7 but when it is set to 1, the output frequency is lower than it should be (divided by 2), giving unexpected results such as no sync on a CRT display. This patch prevents N=1 when searching for the best value for the requested pixclock.
