Hmm, in the version of syscons that I'm currently working on there is
support for adding a new ioctl via a LKM, that can be used to load
special code to modify you timing. Also If you can tell me what
H&V-sync your monitor can handle, I can probably do a small patch
to the mode setting code that will allow you to use your monitor
for std modes ie 80x25, 80x50 etc...
Just remember that it s a hack, and nothing that I will admit to
have done :)

Naw, we wouldn't have you to do that ...

So much code to hack -- so little time.
