OK, thank you.
The problem is i cannot guess the mode used in advance. Is for a live CD.

I found parse-edid ( is in the read-edid i386 source) wich works fine in the 
device-tree EDID and gives the preferred mode for the display.

What is the current status of CVS ?. Could it be usuable insteed of 4.3 now?
I have put the ds's 4.3 in the iso, i am not sure if using a cvs version could 
be a good thing.

thanks
