Ati X700 and Breezy Resolution problem

[Lakin Wecker]

Of course. The very next time that I reboot to test out a small kernel
option change, gdm comes up with no problems.

In terms of helping me fix a problem, feel free to ignore this letter.

But I still wonder if this is a bug that I should report?
