Michal's problem is more of a failure to preserve the per-display var, which
should be fixed with recent mm or rc kernels.

Yours is more of boot mode selection problem and most drivers use
fb_find_mode() for that.  The default modedb does not have 1024x768@100
non-interlaced, so it passed the interlaced version to the driver, which it
happily accepted.  Thus, you get the interlaced version.
