I've got a new laptop (eMachines M6805 with AMD64) with the stated resolution.  It has 
an ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility chip with 64 MB graphics memory.  Unfortunately, ATI has 
not produced a Linux driver for it, so until I can find one, I'm using "ati fbdev", 
which I assume is a framebuffer device.   I discovered by trial and error that the 
vendor-independent VESA driver also works.  With the fbdev, I only have standard 
monitor options to choose from, so I picked 1024x768.  Is it possible to use custom 
resolutions with frame buffer devices (or the VESA device)?  If so, how can I 
determine the frequencies to use and the appropriate modeline?  The owner's manual is 
woefully lacking in technical details.  Thanks.
