I tested other pixel clock. I obtained always the same rate. I think it's
another problem.

I think I couls test to recompile the kernel myself. To do that, I must have
a kernel without support of my PicassoIV: so, I can boot netbsd and use the
pass through flickerfixer on my VGA monitor.
Then compile my kernel with PicassoIV enabled. Problem I can't see anything
about Picasso "IV" in the congig's file GENERIC.

Is the line with PicassoII is enough?

So, where can I download a kernel without PicassoIV support?

Thanks
