Bill,

I don't have your hardware, but I've had problems in the past with the
intel 950 and a WXGA screen.   I had to

i) kick the video BIOS with 915resolution to tell it the display's
native mode (!), and
ii) create a modeline (I used gtf) to shove into xorg.conf.

so it supports wide screen resolution?  Do I keep xorg.conf driver at "i8
10"
or switch to "intel".  I had to use 855resolution to try out widescreen
(overwrite bios mode) to even try out wide screen on lcd with native
resolution of 1680x1050 and it scrunched up.

What does "Scrunched up" mean? :-)

I recall I also had to kick the machine BIOS to stop forcing horrible
furry expansions of resolutions lower than the native mode.

cheers,
R.
