Hi Jon,

I've tested it with a CLE266, but I can't set the resolution to 
1024x768. With the trunk-version I can.

Some snippets from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
X.Org X Server 1.4.0
...
(--) VIA(0): Detected VIA VT3122 (CLE266)-EPIA M/MII/....
(II) VIA(0): Detected MemClk 15
(II) VIA(0): Detected MemClk 15
(WW) VIA(0): Unknown Memory clock: 15
...
(II) VIA(0): Required bandwidth is not available. (188755764 > 74000000)

With trunk it detects MemClk 4.

In the experimental branch you skip the 'Set up MMIO vgaHW' in 
via_driver.c around line 2260. If I remove the return TRUE and do the 
setup MMIO vgaHW, then I can set the higher resolutions.

I'm not a driver-programmer, so I really have no idea what this MMIO 
vgaHW does. But I can test things and see where they go wrong :))

Bye
