Hello,
I'm currently fighting with vidcontrol to make it support VESA_1024x768.
My laptop, IBM TP 390 2626-700 reports the following with `vidcontrol -i

When I issue `vidcontrol VESA_1024x768`, the screen goes black (no display
at all), I can switch back to normal operation by `vidcontrol VESA_800x600`.
Any clues about this ?
TIA
