 works fine!

Your right my screen supports 1080p but it leaves me with a message on
the screen (that doesn't disappear by itself) telling me that this is
not the optimal resolution and to switch to 1650x1080. I'm not sure how
other screens behave but if they behave the same way this should be
considered.

Yes kernel is written to flash memory. I added
ps3-wip/ps3av-vesa-stripes-workaround.diff to my source tree, the
message persists, even using Geoff's git tree with my .config file and
running oldconfig didn't change the behavior. I'll append my .config
file. The message is the very first line printed at kernel boot.
