> The driver detects EDID/DDC successfully. It interprets the extra
modelines reported only since on 99% (all but two I've seen sofar) screens
here the max resolution it can display is reported. On this screen however
this is not the case: it reports 800x600 here only.

find the highest possible mode. Probably Axel has something for that in
his driver(s)?

No worries, thanks for the explaination.
I'll stick with VESA for now, since it works fairly good for my needs.
(I'll have to buy another screen sooner or later, though ;) )
