[Xorg-driver-geode] Geode LX video testing results

[Gideon Romm]

Another good question would be whether the call to port 20 exists in
X.org 1.2 code, as well - or was this a new addition in X.org 1.3?

If it is new, I am sure it was introduced for a reason.
If it is not, then why does the freeze not occur in X.org 1.2?

I will try the patched code on a variety of hardware this week and report.
