Hey Benny!

 BP> mode "1366x768-60"
 BP>     # D: 85.507 MHz, H: 47.716 kHz, V: 59.794 Hz
 BP>    geometry 1366 768 1366 768 8
 BP>    timings 11695 213 70 24 3 143 3
 BP>     hsync high
 BP>     vsync high
 BP>     rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
 BP> endmode

 BP> so i need to match that in vga mode ?

There is no such match.  Here is what "vga = 803" shows;

mode "1280x1024"
    geometry 1280 1024 1280 1024 32
    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode
 
Note the above is a standard resolution whereas mode "1366x768-60" isn't.  Also
I have a standard resolution monitor (Samsung) and not a widescreen.  Also,
also VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc. ASPEED Graphics Family
(rev 30).  It cannot do radeonfb but does have it's own fb which in my kernel
config is unset;

:r !zgrep CONFIG_DRM_AST /proc/config.gz

# CONFIG_DRM_AST is not set

I doubt any of this helps you but it might.

Life is good,
Maurice
