That was, as we say over here in France, a Gascon's promise. I cannot 
keep it because I lack the proper tool to dump the registers of the 
radeon chip. I have no real documentation, at that. Does anybody know of 
pointer to a kind of datasheet or something?

Does nothing. I guess it is related to clocking, because before blinking 
out, the screen mangles what is already displayed.
