[Xorg-driver-geode] display mode with 800x480 on geode-2.11.1

[John Yoder]

Thanks Chris, that changes things a bit. This thread is off topic for
this list as this list is for the geode xorg driver. Just an FYI, I
didn't look which list the thread belongs. 

Looking at the Geode LX KFB, the table resides in lxfb_core.c
(geode_modedb[]) The 800x480 does not reside within it, as expected.
When you have the line calculated, put it as the first table entry as
the KFB defaults to the first entry in the table. Also supported PLL
frequencies are in lxfb_ops.c.

One note on the Geode LX KFB. The driver is very basic. It does not
support panel scaling, tv out, compression, and hardware acceleration is
minimal at best. Just trying to give you a heads up that the KFB is not
as feature rich as the xorg driver.
