Oooops... sorry. I forgot to look into videomode.c.

Hmm... taking a look at the available modes, none of the eMac
'supported' ones (which are rather odd) are included.

I will try to add the "1024x768x89" mode from the X11 'ModeLine'.

It appears that the 'modelines.c' is automatically generated from a
database called 'modelines', whose content format appear to be the
same as that of XFree86.

So I guess I can add the modeline to the file and try.

This time should work fine :-)

The modeline is
ModeLine	"1024x768" 100 1024 1108 1280 1408 768 768 780 796 +hsync +vsync
