Subject: Regression 2.6.34+ -> 2.6.34-rc5: radeon KMS rs780 problems

Hi,

My 790gx chipset supplies an rs780.  With .34+ all is ok.  With .35-rc5 basic function seems ok (kde works) but
games like extreme tux racer have problems.  The cursor does not display when on the tux racer window and
various objects flicker on and off as I attempt to play the game.   

Here is what .34+ detects (think this kernel has a drm-radeon-testing from may or early june)

with .35-rc5 it finds a different ammount of VRAM.  Hardware wise there is 128M of sideport ram.

User space/firmware/bios is the same in both cases.

Idea?
