Hrm, I attempted to do bug data collection in the failed state, but it did not do the right thing. :( The attached reports are all from the working 2.6.30. I will try again...

The broken log (in the "saved report" attachment) lacks the 1920x1200 line in the "probed modes" section:

<bryce> jbarnes, so like, if xrandr is unable to show/set non-vesa
  resolutions when booted in KMS?
<jbarnes> no that's a separate bug, also fixed in git
<jbarnes> that was due to our kernel code not populating a full mode
  list for panels like the 2d driver did

As per jesse, there's a kernel fix in git for this, so refiling to the kernel.
