Hi Jonathan, Thanks for looking in to this, I now use testing (wheezy) with kernel 3.1.0-1-686-pae and everything works fine.
In general I had no problem with display geometry with the 3.x kernels, I tried all the available ones in testing, sid and experimental since 3.x became available. Only a couple of times, after updating some gnome packages the display size is set to 1024x768 instead of 1366x768. Just that, no flickering and no crash. I assume that it's a gnome issue since it happened only after upgrading gnome related packages and a reboot solved the problem in both cases. This is unrelated, I've been trying all the available kernels because in the new gnome 3 interface (gnome shell) I can see the battery icon appearing and disappearing every 30 seconds or so, as if after charging, the battery starts discharging again for a few seconds and then recharging again. I haven't reported this yet because I still don't understand which package causes this issue. Regards, Paolo.
