Re: Release Canditate (RC3)

Hi Pascal,

I've tried using Xvesa -listmodes and it doesn't list any widescreen 
modes under VirtualBox, or on the EeePC. From what I've read, for the 
EeePC, the 915 graphics need to be fooled into thinking that 800x480 is 
a valid resolution. I'm not sure if/how that is done with Xvesa.

I won't try the patch - as it won't make any difference if the modes 
aren't there. But I would say having the list populated by -listmodes 
makes more sense anyway. Certainly I ran it on a notebook the other 
month that had 1440 resolution which wasn't in the release back then...
