Thanks, and apologize the delay of my response.
This season in Japan is called 'Obon' when our ansester's spirits come back.
We must visit our ansester's grave and worship, means holiday in general.

Now, I got a good rest, which introduced me how to solve 1680x1050x32
resolution problem.   It was very simple, that is:

in initpipe() function of /sys/src/cmd/aux/vga change the line:
	lanes = 1;
to
	lanes = 2;			/* for 1680x1050x32 */

Tht's all!

PS. I still have problem of how to utilize DP device.
However, it is low priority of the scope, then, if I could have 
a motivation to it and time, I'll come back there.
