* Wed May 09 2007 Adam Jackson <ajax@xxxxxxxxxx> 1.3.0-6
- Re-add the sync range hack. (#235066)
* Tue Mar 20 2007 Adam Jackson < ajax@xxxxxxxxxx> 1.3.0-5
- vesa-1.3.0-mode-heuristics.patch: If strict intersection of VBE and EDID
modes leaves no modes remaining after validation, try again with just
range and VBE checks. Replaces earlier range-hack and validmode patches.
