Well I haven't noticed any but then again I haven't really been looking.
Most of the time I use YV12 anyway.

Great.

What kind of distortion are we talking about here? Non-square pixels?
The hardware uses ITU-R 656 compatible more and that standard only
specifies 720x576 PAL and 720x480 NTSC modes. Square pixel modes aren't
endorsed by the standard. That is according to some doc I found on the
web. And trying to support those modes would require fiddling with the
video timing and you'd end up doing pretty much the same stuff as with
matroxfb/fbset. Not to mention how much complexity it would add to the
driver.
