Actually, I'd prefer my driver to create a var from the width/height/freq,
especially since I've brought in EDID stuff, as my driver is the one who
knows what modes are really useable on the monitor. Or maybe, create an
"official" way for the driver to expose the modedb it created to fbcon...
This is even more true with iMacs & their fixed -hfreq monitor. I've not
'fixed' that yet, but ultimately, the driver will have a specific modedb
as well for the display.
Ben.
