We look for monitor sense values for the cinema display. That's elsewhere in the driver. The way aty128fb sets the default res is like this with my patch:

it looks at machine specific vmodes (powerbook, imac)
it looks at monitor sense info
it looks at user specified vmode args and checks to make sure they are sane
if all of that fails, it uses the aforementioned default
Even if we don't want 640x480 as the default, we dont have to set it with that first hunk I removed, there is another place later in the driver to set the default. I removed the big hunk just as a way to say 'lets be clear about where we set the default res'.
