Better yet, can you try the attached patch on top of 2.6.38-rc4 or newer?

o.k. applied that patch... unfortunately Im seeing the flickering screen and
the crud shows up..
initially during boot everything looked fine, its when I suspended the
machine, upon wake-up
the flickering occurred.
kernel version is the current: 2.6.38-rc4-00107-gaa502b4

Can you try this patch? Try uncommenting the following lines to see
if either of those flags work any better. Try them individually and
together if possible and report back which, if any, helps.

/*pll->flags |= RADEON_PLL_PREFER_MINM_OVER_MAXP;*/

/*if (ASIC_IS_AVIVO(rdev))
pll->flags |= RADEON_PLL_USE_FRAC_FB_DIV;*/

Thanks!

alright.. again out of my office trying to make a living!!
Anyways I applied the two earlier patches, and added the previous post's patch as well
(everything runs o.k. s2r etc...)
I can try for the above and see if I can pinpoint the piece of code that is causing this(hopefully)
