This results in failure of mode validation and fallback to 800x600.  Which I would normally work around by specifying a modeline, but apparantly this is no longer allowed.  302.17 worked fine prior to the kernel/kmdl upgrade this week.

Not a fix, but perhaps a workaround:

(if "do the right thing automatically" doesn't work, disable the smarts).
