 			<li>Added widescreen (16:10 aspect) modes 800x500, 1024x640, 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 for panel(s) to the modelist exported by the driver if only widescreen panel(s) is (are) connected (so also no analog monitors may be connected!);
 			<li>Added blocking of modes above panel (with lowest) native resotution: this includes blocking of all widescreen modes if a non-widescreen (analog) screen is detected.
