Yup, "VBEModes" option can be used in xorg.conf to enable VBE mode. And for "vga=xxx" option, please see: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions</a> It can also be used for VBE setting I think. As far as I digged into the OpenChrome code, I found right now DP/HDMI port is not supported, especially for VX900. So do think VBE can be used before they are supported?
