With crmfb or are you using a serial console?

Good question - two or three days ago I think. Downgrading arch/ 
sgimips/stand to 2008-02-20 made it work again. Also, an older kernel  
with unacclerated crmfb works fine as well.
Seriously, I don't have the faintest idea how the boot loader would  
have any effect on the acceleration code. The kernel boots without  
errors, just video output is garbage.
I'll update again, maybe I got something half committed.

have fun
Michael
