There seems to be a bug in the setup for a lot of Cirrus Logic chipsets
(for XFree86, that is).  Edit the configuration file that the setup wrote
(default is /etc/XF86Config) and comment out the "Clocks..." line.  That
should clear things up.  (I had a cl542x at work for a while and had to
figure that one out.)

Of course, if you're not using XF86, then this doesn't really matter, now
does it?
