Which package is this included in?  Fedora 8 does not seem to come  
with it by default.  Do I need something from the add-ons CD?

That didn't work unfortunately (tried with video=ps3fb:mode:13).  I  
just got a completely blue screen, as if the monitor was receiving an  
invalid signal.

I've talked to BenQ and they will do the necessary firmware upgrade  
for me to get 1080p working fine, but regardless of that, getting  
WUXGA under Linux would certainly be nice!
