        <pre>I suspect it could be the same problem as in <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW - heavy screen flickering with Mobility Radeon X1600 and kernel version 3.15rc2 onward"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=108514">bug #108514</a>.

Best workaround known would be to boot with nomodeset kernel parameter.

Adding drm.debug=4 (kernel mode setting messages) to kernel parameters
would give more usefull dmesg output.

Suspected problem for #108514 would be related to compute_avivo_pll_[something]
in gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_display.c.
Possibly the max pll clock frequency.

I hope to be able to investigate beginning of next week.</pre>
