Ok, so you have two laptops, one with 1400x1050 native resolution and the
other with 1280x800 native resolution, exact ?
In both case, running the fbdev in native resolution worked for 2.4 radeonfb,
but not for 2.6 radeonfb, and in both case X is working fine.
Furthermore, your laptops displays are not-DDC capable, and thus new_radeonfb
is doing strange things with monitor timings, and is failing to setup your
native panel mode.
Benh, any insight on this ?
