hmnn, the .log says: (II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1280x768" (no mode of this name)^M
even though there's such a declaration in then Monitor section of xorg.conf. I didn't know you had an xorg.conf. You can additionally experiment with: moving the xorg.conf out of the way, and running withor without the i810 driver. The problem here is that the early Intel VBIOS doesn't tell the whole truth about resolutions to the X server. We used to use the fixup utility "i815resolution" (later renamed to i915resolution) to setup the VBIOS. That was back when there wasn't much love getting to the Intel graphics drivers. Today, at least with the newer gpus (945, 965), Intel has a large team working on the drivers. I had hoped that the older gpus would benefit from some of this forward work. Maybe that was a rash wish. Stuart Ken Robson wrote: > Attaching /etc/X11/xorg.conf & /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Tried moving the i810 > driver out the way and using the vesa driver.
