Why not support simply video=1024x768-32@85 (or video=viafb:1024x768-32@85, if you have other video cards too), as can be parsed by fb_find_mode()?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
