You know, I after some trouble I found a VESA code for my also not so standard |
| 7 |
1440x900, so that vesafb happily provided me with native console since 2.6.27 |
| 8 |
(if not .25) (had a nice program that displayed supported framebuffer modes - |
| 9 |
what was it ?) |

I wonder, what are the negatives of moving modesetting to kernel from |
| 19 |
userspace ? Will we be loosing some functionality (at least temperarily) ? |
| 20 |
How will, say, choosing mode on external distplay work ? |
