I think the VESA driver can only support certain resolutions. I haven't tried on my MBP, but on my Intel Mac Mini running Linux, I was only ever able to get 1600x1200 resolution using VESA. Using the i915 driver and a tool to patch the BIOS video modes, I was able to get 1920x1200 (I have a 23" display whose native resolution is 1920x1200). You could also try the imacfb framebuffer if you wanted, and then use the fbdev device in X. However, that is obviously unaccelerated, and probably sub-optimal. I was able to get that driver using the correct resolution/refresh-rate via kernel parameters. > Well, as much as I hate advising people to use proprietary software, > I think that in this case this would probably be your best bet.

I am using the proprietary ATI driver on my MBP until the free radeon driver catches up in terms of cards supported. While it is definitely annoying it is probably possible to get it working.
