What does radeonfb from a recent rsync from me does ? it works ? If it does, then it will probe the modeline using the EDID. You can then use fbset -x to build an XFree modeline. Another possibility is to use Ani Joshi parse-edid tool to directly parse the EDID property that is somewhere in /proc/device-tree and obtain an X modeline. To find the property, look for your video card node in /proc/device-tree/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ (that is the AGP bus). There you'll find one or more nodes for the video card (usually a parent and 2 childs for laptop ATIs), the EDID is in one of the childs, it can be named "EDID", "LCD,EDID", "EDID1" or whatever around those lines... Pipe this in parse-edid to get the modeline I enclosed Ani's tool. Ben.
