Ah! Found a bug in radeonfb.c!

I was WONDERING why certain things would get corrupted on the screen when
using the radeon framebuffer driver. I've been seeing a number of
off-by-one errors.

First of all, the kernel source I'm looking at is 2.4.22-gentoo-r7.

Anyhow, here's the deal. Look at the function 'fbcon_radeon_bmove'. I'm
having to type this in by hand due to circumstances, so, here's something
that looks vaguely like a patch but which will require people to actually
look at (I've never submitted a patch before, so let's just discuss it
first):

line 4399:
if (srcy < dsty) {
- srcy += height;
- dsty += height;
+ srcy += height-1;
+ dsty += height-1;
} else


line 4404:
if (srcx < dstx) {
- srcx += width;
- dstx += width;
+ srcx += width-1;
+ dstx += width-1;
}
