I just got a Dell D400 Laptop with Intel I855GM video. I'm having difficulty getting it to use any additional video modes beyond 640x480x8, 800x600x8, 1024x768x8, and 640x480x16. I'm running XFree86 4.3.0. I've seen David Dawes' pages about the Xfree additions for this chipset, and I've applied his agpgart patch to my vanilla linux kernel (2.4.20). I've also booted up the development kernel with the same result.
I've specified VideoRam 65000 and even more. However, trying to force (using DefaultDepth 16) and Modes "1024x768" gives me the error below. Dell has decided that 832k is more than enough for the console. I can email the full logs and the full XFree86Config file (bzip2ed) to anyone who want to take a stab at this.
