As far as the ATI driver is concerned the mode validation seems to be behaving in a quirky way. In fact this new driver includes replacement code for a whole bunch of mode validation functionality in Xorg in similarly named files like: xf86Crtc.c, xf86Modes.c etc. From the logs the driver is able to detect the graphics card and detect all the modelines. However it still falls back to using 1024x768. Not having the hardware in question it is quite impossible for me to debug this further. Regards, Moinak.
