Comment (by kvark):

 I've noticed 2 important messages in the syslog:

 1) VESA knows about the native panel mode (1366x768), which is a single
 mode reported under additional modes section. I have a feeling that these
 additional (or "detailed") modes should be marked somehow on our end,
 because they are always relevant (in contrast to ones in the standard mode
 list).

 2) radeon_hd does not even attempt to set the incorrectly detected mode
 (1400x1050). Instead, it tries to switch to 1024x768. As far as I got,
 it's the app_server that calls the accelerant to switch to this mode. I
 have no idea why that happens, and will look into that; however, it's all
 new to me, so the digging process is very slow :(

 Any help and thoughts on the matter are very welcome!
