They are all basically the same logic until the most recent release which
at least queries the monitor for the actual system ports it knows how to.

I don't have a setup with an LVDS-VGA adapter board to test, but my guess
would be that even if we pick a mode the panel can do we'll pick a clock
rate that it cannot.

What mode is the vesa driver using and if you set the same mode what
happens ?

That is expected

So we picked 1280x1024

We found the LVDS, we found nothing on the SDVO

And we probed a 1280x1024 mode with a clock of 71.5 (which might be a bit
high for the panel ?)

We didn't have a mode before, we have one now.

We set it all up and seem happy.

Do you have a different monitor around to try and also hand setting lower
modes ?
