When using the 5450 card and trying a 640x480 interlaced console frame buffer I get half the screen shown (top half) and bottom is out of the screen display. It's a progressive picture too, not interlaced. If I use 320x240 progressive it all fits, so seems to be that the interlacing isn't working for this chip. Not sure if it's known and just not been implemented yet or if it's a bug.

Created attachment 46222 [details] possible fix This patch should fix it.
Cool, I will test that. Also a person reported to me this same behavior on the RS690. At first it flickered and didn't work, but after applying your patch for the PLL HIGHER he got a stable picture yet it seems that it was a half screen again like this was doing on the 5450. So not sure if it's the same type of thing, or if this patch might even fix it?
I have tested the patch and it works, now I can get interlaced modes just fine, thanks.
