framebuffer questions re: zotac ion

I'm trying to get a 1366x768 framebuffer console out of the hdmi port of my zotac ion board. The final goal is to get mplayer with vdpau to play in this framebuffer... edit: oops this is impossible, isn't it?

$ cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes 
640x400-8, 0x0100
640x480-8, 0x0101
800x600-8, 0x0103
1024x768-8, 0x0105
320x200-16, 0x010e

640x400-32, 0x013e
768x480-8, 0x0162
1280x720-32, 0x017b

means I can't do it?

Re: framebuffer questions re: zotac ion

I set it to 1280x720, looks pretty good.

Does thsi mean it's working?
