Hi Eric --
I'm using the ViewSonic VG150 flat panel.  Ignore what the ffb says
about what's supported for your monitor.  Also, are you using the
adapter from Sun?  I went through several aftermarket ones with little
success before getting the real article.  That's where your sense data
is probably coming from.  Note the difference in mine, and that the
res is set to a value other than the 'supported' ones.

--- Hardware Configuration for /dev/fbs/ffb0 ---

Monitor possible resolutions: 1024x768x60, 640x480x60

The only problem I have is that I'm not syncing up outside of X.
An OBP tweak might take care of that, but I'm in no hurry.
HTH,
