Ok, I'll have a look after getting some sleep.

There was no radeonfb in 3.x, I'm sure you noticed the speed difference 
:)
Seriously - I don't know. I didn't write radeonfb, all I did was to 
make it work on macppc.
Apparently wsdisplay really doesn't like display drivers that don't 
implement the reverse attribute even though there's a feature flag for 
that ( on the other hand - it's so trivial to do that I can't really 
think of a good reason not to implement it on a bitmapped display 
driver )
cvs update dev/pci/radeonfb.c at some point tomorrow ;)

have fun
Michael
