Just tested this. However the results were not conclusive.
It looks like the driver did notice the specified mode and used it -
because the display's refresh rate did get adjusted and the overall
resolution is correct. However the display timings are slightly "off",
the image is stretched a few pixels off the right edge and a few lines
off the bottom edge. Yet the same modeline given to "video=" in
combination with my controversial disable-fixed-mode patch however
produces a perfectly aligned image.
There might some other affect here. I'm not testing in the same git
repo in the two cases and there are other differences. So this problem
might be unrelated to the patch. I will sort that out.
