Re: [PATCH] drm/mgag200: Reject modes that are too big for VRAM

A monitor or a user could request a resolution greater than the available VRAM for the backing framebuffer. This change checks the required framebuffer size against the max VRAM size and rejects modes if they are too big. This change can also remove a mode request passed in via the video= parameter.

I can't say I like the bpp finding code, but my brain is failing to come up with something better,

so yeah I think this is fine, those cards with 1.5MB VRAM always piss me off :-)

I'll apply these, send on any others! Dave.
