Only for xorg from pkgsrc.  When I startup /usr/X11R7/bin/X with the wrong
resolution, I still get distorted snow.  The black screen had no mouse
pointer either.

I googled around and found several guides explaining how to define your own
Modeline in the Monitor section (even specific for the Mini 12), however, X
keeps complaining about 1280x800: "no mode with that name".
