Okay. The nouveau driver also uses the pitch as well. It 
really should be using the pitch field from drm_framebuffer instead of the 
line_length from fb_fix_screeninfo. This patch is just to make sure this 
is the issue. I will submit another patch later that uses 
drm_fb_framebuffer's pitch field. As for the visual unfortunely their is 
no real mapping between drm and fbdev.
