If the driver says 'Option "PanelGeometry" is not used' it means that the hardware is not Geode GX but a Geode LX.

Geode LX has no "PanelGeometry" Option, it uses a "PanelMode" Option which has to be filled with the ModeLine specified earlier.

This at least applies to an Hercules eCafe EC-800 which I had to setup today. In this case the panel is only 800x480 and the Xserver stretches the output to 800x600 without manual fix.

I attach my working xorg.conf, it sets up an 800x480 display, the commented out parts contain lines which should work for 1200x600.

I'm using Karmic (xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.11.6-1).
