Thanks for reporting. It's not a bug, but a side effect of atomic modesetting. During pageflips, the old code used to kick out the currently displayed framebuffer and then load in the new one. If that failed, the display went garbage. In v5.6-rc1, we merged atomic modesetting for ast. This means that screen updates are more reliable, but we have to over-commit resources. Specifically, we have to reserve space for two buffers in video memory while a pageflip happens. 1920x1200@32 are ~9MiB of framebuffer memory. If your device has 16 MiB of VRAM, there's no space left for the second framebuffer. Hence, the resolution is no longer supported. On the positive side, you can now use Wayland compositors with ast. Atomic modesetting adds the necessary interfaces.
