Re: Re: Re: atyfb, console, kernel 2.6.14 & Sony Vaio C1VE

Nice! ;-)  Fortunately, my laptop has a completely stable and reliable  
display.  It's definitely a kernel driver problem.  A patched 2.4  
kernel allows me to get the full-width 1024x480 console, but the 2.6  
kernel is very different.

I'm just looking at modedb.c - the standard video mode definitions  
don't include 1024x480.  The 2.4 kernel patch modified this file; I'm  
wondering whether it would make a difference with the present kernel...
