Hmm. Not sure. I found a posting by David S. Miller which pointed to some Sun Framebuffer Guide.

That probably doesn't care about the eeprom setting. Well, as I understood the XFree driver "sunffb" doesnt't care much about the Modlines. Which is consitent with my findings: fiddling in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 did *not* result in different resolutions or refresh rates. [...] > > What am I doing wrong?
