wasn't that your suggestion?:

Did; except that it (again) defaulted my session into a 1440x900 mode that is meaningless for my setup, it seem to work fine after the now traditionnal grandr mode-switching ceremony.

 (previously I had been using a 1280x1024 LCD, switched to a 1600x1050 LCD which normally works great, except it caused the RS690 to simply crash the system (except if I booted with the 1280x1024 on, then swapped, and played with grandr -- didn't try to fight it, went to grosbill to get a newer board I wanted anyway))
