[SOLVED] Widescreen framebuffer with uvesafb

After following the steps on the uvesafb wiki page, (minus 915resolution, as I have an AMD chipset) I have been unable to get a resolution that accurately fits the widescreen monitor on my laptop. The native resolution on my moniter is 16:9, 1366x768. The output of

cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes

is as follows:

640x400-8, 0x0100
640x480-8, 0x0101
800x600-8, 0x0103
1024x768-8, 0x0105
640x480-16, 0x0111
800x600-16, 0x0114
1024x768-16, 0x0117
320x200-16, 0x010e
320x200-32, 0x0120
320x240-8, 0x0193
320x240-16, 0x0195
320x240-32, 0x0196
512x384-8, 0x01b3
512x384-16, 0x01b5
512x384-32, 0x01b6
640x350-8, 0x01c3
640x350-16, 0x01c5
640x350-32, 0x01c6
720x400-8, 0x0133
720x400-16, 0x0135
720x400-32, 0x0136
640x480-32, 0x0121
800x600-32, 0x0122
1024x768-32, 0x0123

Any help would be appreciated!

radeonfb works perfectly with my ATI (aka AMD) card. That's 1280x800, and it's completely auto detected - no kernel or driver parameters required.

Thanks, I had not even considered radeonfb. I switched to radeonfb and everything works like a charm.
