I would have been nice, to post the solution here on the list aswell. In some
weeks your Blog might be gone, but the list archive remains.. 

so the trick is.. 

- stop the X server
- use "hwinfo --framebuffer" to get information about your framebuffer
- if you have to add some modelines, you can generate the correct syntax
	with:
	cvt width height freq
	e.g. "cvt 1920 1200 60"
