Bug#529178: video-radeon: Probably hardware limitation

This is probably a hardware limitation of the card.

AFAIK dual-link dvi is needed for modes above 1280x1024 to work reliably
over DVI. Some card - monitor combinations might work but others would
not.

Better cards have higher-rate transmitters that can do modes slightly
larger than 1280x1024 but a 22" screen is likely over-spec for any
single link card so there is no guarantee it will work.

Dual link cards start somewhere in the X1300-X1600 range for Radeons
iirc.

Thanks
