The problem is that mode calculated by fb_get_mode is different from the
one that comes from get_detailed_timing.

Also, modes  from fb_get_mode  are different from  XFree modes  so every
time I switch from console to X I have to re-center the screen.

This happens only when modedb is created from edid, not when using the
standard modedb.

Currently create_modedb is unused (the new radeon driver is the first
user of edid stuff) so we may be hitting a real bug.
