Possibly. I think that the config was the one I was using, for an Iiyama
running at 1280x1024 at highish refresh rate, which is above the default
range for the acornfb driver. Hence I'm booting the kernel with parameters
to acornfb to tell it to up its idea of the monitor limit. Without these
the fb will refuse to change into that mode, and xfree will give a bad mode
error.
Offhand, I can't tell you what the parameters to the kernel are, as I'm
not at home and the RiscPC is.
