[PATCH] xf86-video-mga, enables resolutions greater than 1280x1024 on G200eW Nuvoton

Looks like G200eW is artificially limited to 1280x1024 resolution, even though i could set 1600x1200 by VBE tool (GRUB2). I was motivated by some guy who managed to enable higher resolutions in Windows (http://blog.mycroes.nl/2011/10/enabling-higher-resolutions-on-matrox.html) to try the same thing in xf86-video-mga, and i can confirm everything works without problems. Confirmed working on Supermicro H8SCM-F @ 1680x1050 & 1920x1080, on:

Arch, Linux myhost 3.1.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 4 08:11:16 CET 2012 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 4170 HE AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux, X.Org X Server 1.11.3,
Ubuntu Precise 12.04, Linux H8SCM-HV 3.2.0-8-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 6 01:56:48 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
X.Org X Server 1.10.4

I dont have monitor that can do not go higher than 1920x1080, but most likely resolutions up to 2048x1536 would work, making it equvivalent to G200 ER SH7757, at least when it comes to supported resolutions. Can someone test these higher resolutions?
