Thank you!

For those interested, the original K3 file (/etc/fb.modes) includes FrameBuffer modes 600x800 and 800x600 (and two other smaller resolutions which I doubt are ever used). Which makes sense since K3 has a resolution of 600x800 px.

But my 3.2.1 on DX also had 824x1200 modes, which also makes sense because that's the DX'es display resolution. But since 3.x FW is not intended for DX I believe it had been added by YifanLu.

So, we have to be careful with future updates of that file by future FW updates so the 824x1200 and the 1200x824 resolutions won't disappear. And it also means that future FW upgrades (modifying /etc/fb.modes, or not) always have to be to some degree manual because appropriate line with MD5 hash in "rootfs_md5_list" file from "rootfs_md5_list.tar.gz" has to be modified to fit the reality of DX (this may not be the case of 3.x FW on K2 since it has the same resolution as K3 has).
