Helmut Schaa has an HP 2510p that lost some of its display modes after a hard X crash on an early 2.6.27-rc kernel (it now no longer knows that it has a 1280x800 panel but thinks that it only has 1024x768, the BIOS screen is in the upper left corner instead of centered on the screen). Even though we don't know that this is the same problem, it shows that sh*t happens.
