Ah, okay, you have a flatpanel display, so you really need vesa to program
the mode.

The main problem is that when check_var fails, set_par is not called
which means that the ringbuffer is not set up correctly after switching
from X.
Try this first, then we'll think of a definitive solution later.
Open drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c and look at intelfb_check_var().
Look for this particular snippet...
if (FIXED_MODE(dinfo) &&
(change_var ||
var->yres_virtual > dinfo->initial_var.yres_virtual ||
var->yres_virtual < dinfo->initial_var.yres ||
var->xoffset || var->nonstd)) {
if (first) {
ERR_MSG("Changing the video mode is not supported.\n");
first = 0;
}
return -EINVAL;
}
And then insert a line so it looks like this:
if (FIXED_MODE(dinfo) &&
(change_var ||
var->yres_virtual > dinfo->initial_var.yres_virtual ||
var->yres_virtual < dinfo->initial_var.yres ||
var->xoffset || var->nonstd)) {
if (first) {
ERR_MSG("Changing the video mode is not supported.\n");
first = 0;
}
intelfb_set_par(info); /* insert this line */
return -EINVAL;
}
