Plus a whole bunch of other drivers. BTW would you consider it time to
kill off the old radeon fbdev driver?
Last time I checked the new radeonfb driver could not set modes on an
analog LCD panel. Something is mess up in how it computes the closest
mode to what you ask for. If the mode isn't an exact match it won't
set the mode. Old driver does not have this problem.
The driver in 2.4.27 (obviously the old one) sets the the mode correct,
either analog or digital (DVI). The driver in 2.6.8 set the mode, at
least fbset returns the correct information, but the actual used mode is
still 640x480.
