thanks for the hint, it seems to work (I can't really tell atm because 
I'm trying remotely but the X starts and xdpyinfo reports 1920x1080 at 50Hz 
so it should be OK).

BTW as I'm not using sdvo but hdmi I modified i830_hdmi_detect in 
i830_hdmi.c.

It would be nice to have a way to force the driver to use a specific 
mode even if no monitor is detected without hacking it.

Thanks again.
