+Q: Why doesn't the GEODE driver work at WXGA (wide screen) resolutions?
A: Make sure that TFT Panel support is disabled in the BIOS settings,
otherwise resolutions will be restricted to traditional VGA modes.
The GEODE offers a choice between CRT-only, CRT+TFT, TFT-only for
output device and selecting CRT-only removes the VGA restriction.
