Would you please try the latest git driver with the PLL clock range
problem fixed (commit id:26194e19e1c80615697016e25640d4c8c244353f)?

We used to have problem in displaying the following two modes:

(II) intel(0): Modeline "1680x1050"x59.9  119.00  1680 1728 1760 1840
1050 1053 1059 1080 -hsync +vsync (64.7 kHz)
(II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x1024"x75.0  135.00  1280 1296 1440 1688
1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (80.0 kHz)

Thanks,
Hong
