Geode screen scaling

[Bert Freudenberg]

Jordan asserted on irc that all that was needed to enable lower  
resolutions than 1200x900 on the XO was to add an appropriate mode  
line, all the support should be in the X server.

Now, I made an xorg.conf with an 800x600 mode, but when starting X,  
all I get is a white-ish screen (with some grey-ish shadows running  
downwards). Does that mean the DCON does not like the timing? Other  
ideas? Has this been tested at all?

And, if it is indeed so simple to add more modes, why don't we include  
some that work by default? There is a gazillion modes built into the X  
server that all fail because of "unknown" and "timing" issues,  
according to Xorg.0.log.

I'm attaching my modified xorg.conf, maybe someone gets it to work  
properly.
