Please, still try to get the HV folks to add more VESA modes for use by linux :-) 1600x1200 would be nice for example, as would 1440x900 (lots of cheap flat panels do that nowadays.... they can demote to 720p which is good enough for games, but for linux, we want native resolution). > Reducing these values may cause video noise to be seen when changing video > modes. So the whole thing should be turned into a state machine on a timer or a kthread no ? So at least, whatever issues the mode change can start drawing while the kernel waits to actually enable the outputs...
