No luck here, tried again this morning (was late last night when I tested and 
didn't trust my results)

Screen blanks out at same spot I used to have problems, when it used to not 
come back after the fixup_memory stuffs.  ben9 works fine, maybe my evil 
hardware needs extra memory reshuffling yet again?  No console video, no X 
video.

I can ssh in and get any info you might want/need, but fbset returns same 
values as a working configuration.
