Package: linux-2.6
Severity: important


While all other framebuffer modules use the option "mode=..." to specify 
a modedb-style video mode, i810fb uses the non-standard 
"mode_option=..." This breaks the use of "video=i810fb:<videomode>" boot 
parameter, such that for instance "video=i810fb:1024x768" doesn't work. 
The boot scripts parse the "<videomode>" parameter internally and pass 
it to the correct module as 'mode=<videomode>'.

upstream rejected as the way to go is mode_option and not the mode param.
