Comment (by czeidler):

 The problem is that we need to read the possible resolutions from the
 monitor (read edid). The current resolution is hardcoded for my machine.
 To do so the xorg driver devs told me that atom bios is needed.
 Basically to get the information to read the registers needed to use the
 IC2 bus to get the edid infos...

 There have been a guy who wanted to write a hd driver but he haven't
 replied on my mail last week :-(

 you can try to replace my resolution with yours, but there are also some
 other smaller parts different for different chip sets...
