UPDATE!
Forget about uvesafb and all that crap. Adam Jackson has the goods, as usual. He poked me on IRC and asked me why I hadn’t just figured out why the plain vesa driver wasn’t given native resolution, which was a good question that I didn’t have a good answer for - should’ve been the first thing I did when I booted it. It turns out to be a classic issue: DDC/EDID probe of the monitor fails, so it falls back on default vertical/horizontal refresh range values which are too low for the native resolution (1600×768) to be considered valid. Probably you could fix this just by the good old-skool method of hand-coding the appropriate values into the xorg.conf file. However, for Fedora users, it’s even easier: there’s an updated package (xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.2.0-3.fc10) coming to Fedora 10 updates soon. That has a fix which gets the panel size by a different method when DDC probe fails, and that solves the problem on the P. So with that package installed, the P will give native resolution with the vesa driver, no messing about.
Thanks to Adam
