Hi Kevin

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your efforts and understand that you are
working on several issues including mine. Please feel free to give a lover
priority to my issue. Because although I would higly prefer to use fully
opensource openchrome driver, currently I am good with via-opensource driver.
Actually my primary motive on filing this bug and testing recent openchrome
driver on several different VIA hardware is just helping you and other people
spending their valuable time to make it better. 

I have copied the patch from Benno's and applied to 0.4.0 just hoping that it
will helpfull to you. Its useless for me as it provides very limited
resolutions and its impossible to set more resolutions/modelines in xorg.conf.

I agree that "known device table" is a bad idea. But I do not know if it is
necessary for a fallback ? 

In my opinnion, xorg.conf setup is not that bad. Its necessary not only for
cases where auto detection fails, but also its a freedom for user. What if I do
not want to rely on EDID data and like to have a fixed resolution for an
embedded device. What if I have a KVM device or another converter preventing
EDID data to pass. I think many modern and bleeding edge drivers still keep 
these options not only in xorg.conf, but also provide them as module parameters
(for KMS drivers). 

Please do not take my words as a criticism on your ideas or blaming openchrome
on doing that or not doing this. I am just trying to give some feedback
resulting from several years of experience on user issues. As Benno previous
stated on another thread, you are the coder, just state how you will do it and
its the law : )
