Adding that to my kernel build nearly fixed things for me. I still can't 
explain why the 848x480 mode appears when I connect a DDC-crippled cable to 
the GMA 945, but I can live with that, I suspect (it looks to be XServer side, 
anyway, and I'm about to have to generate patches there, as I don't want 
default modes).
