The driver rejects the larger modes because they are too large for virtual size.
However, on the very system where it fixes the mode selection it caused a lockup. 01:00.1 0380: 1002:5940 (rev 01) Radeon 9250 (reported as Radeon 9200 PRO) rv280 Should I file a different bug about the lockups or is there one among the zillions of Radeon bugs already?
