[XFree86] "chips" module limitation?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi! Hope this will not grow into a 'development issue', because then i'm at the wrong mailing list ...
The chips module seems to presume a ct65554 chipset's memory bus width is always 4 byte. However, according to the 'datasheet' available via www.chips.com a.k.a Intel, a ct65554 equipped with 4 MB of memory gets it's data 8-byte-per-memtick. So I should get a 1024x768@16bpp mode with reasonable refresh rate for flat panels. For now, I can live with 8 bit colours, but I don't think that staying noticeably behind the hardware seller's specs will help a lot in free software advocacy...

Question: How to force the Xserver to try a mode it normally doesn't?

Thanks to all that take care of newbies like me :)
