I have a Trident CyberBladeXPm/8 chipset on a laptop with a 1400x1050
LCD. Currently I am limited to 1280x1024 resolution, but I would like
to utilize the full LCD. I'm hoping that this is something that is
possible without the missing technical information from Trident.

The driver does receive DCC information from the chipset, this is what
I get:

(II) TRIDENT(0): Manufacturer: TOS  Model: 5086  Serial#: 0

(--) TRIDENT(0): Revision is 99
(==) TRIDENT(0): Using SW cursor
(--) TRIDENT(0): Found CyberBladeXPm/8 chip
(--) TRIDENT(0): RAM type is SGRAM
(**) TRIDENT(0): VideoRAM: 16384 kByte
(--) TRIDENT(0): TFT Panel 1280x1024 found
(--) TRIDENT(0): Memory Clock is 120.00 MHz
(==) TRIDENT(0): Min pixel clock is 12 MHz
(**) TRIDENT(0): Max pixel clock is 230 MHz

I want to move the Future Video Mode #1 into a supported mode. From
what I can tell, the TFT Panel size output is just the highest value
that is found in the LCD structure in trident_driver.c. My guess is
that by adding the appropriate line to the structure that a higher
mode can be enabled?

I was given a ModeLine for this resolution by a Toshiba rep in their
online support forum, I am just unsure of how to translate it into
structure:

ModeLine "1400x1050"  107.85 1400 1450 1500 1999 1050 1058 1070 1150

Each entry in the LCD[] struct has 14 entries, but I can only create
11 from the above modeline, and adding 1 for the counter that appears
to be at the start, that's still only 12.

I'm ready and willing to test this out, and help is
appreciated. Thanks.
