Ah, I was looking through radeon_driver.c and wondering why it never
looked at pScrn->...->screen.

How easy would it be to change the hardcoding so it's the other way round?
Would it need changes all through the driver, or could I do it in one place?

I was hoping to avoid MergedFB as I think the viewport scrolling would annoy
me. I remember someone had some patches to lock the viewports, but I can't
find them in bugzilla or on the list archives. Could someone give me a
pointer to them?

Finally, should I file a bug about this CRTC hardcoding?

TIA
