- TODO: T60: find (for rare buggy CPU's that are unstable without microcode updates) if there is a workaround (patched kernel, special parameter, etc) So far, only 1 processor has been found to have issues. See microcode errata sheets http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/31407918.pdf and http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30922214.pdf and then look at the debugging results collected in t7200q directory (q means quirk).

Later isn't event enough for 1024x768 at 24bpp without any acceleration or double buffering. It's possible there are undocumented values. Which options do you have in vendor BIOS?
