That's what I thought! It's just I forgot to run it as root :) Now I
guess it's working fine in the new version. Here is the output for my
board:

chips at r2d2 ~ $ sudo xresprobe vesa
id:
res: 1280x1024 1024x768 832x624 800x600 720x400 640x480
freq:

Is it supposed to detect the id and freq?

Thanks,
