The LCD panel inside the Cinema Display only understands a single mode:
1600x1024 at 59.94 Hz, with a dot clock of 107.24 MHz. Olaf Hering added
the vmode 22 according to a spec sheet I found somwehere on the 'net. I
am using a Cinema Display with a patched 2.2.18 kernel in said mode; it
does work at least for me. So far I tried neither XFree 4.x nor any
2.4 kernel.
