DVI output is not supported at the moment, so you need to use the 
VBEModes trick. It means the modesetting will fully depends on the VGA 
bios. If the mode you want is not available, then you're stuck. Unless 
you're willing to add support for DVI output by porting the code 
available at linux.via.com.tw to the openchrome driver (in your case, at 
least the code for the CX700 integrated TMDS, but support for VT1636 
would be nice too).
