Did all of this testing and cannot find a combination that this works
for.  Do you have a copy of i915resolution that is ported to Solaris -
can only find it for BSD and Linux.

Thanks for your help.

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.

some settings that are rumoured to work for Linux. However Linux seemed
to need a patch to run 1280 * 768.  Am looking at the patch to
understand what it was doing.  Am I correct in setting up a monitor type
with a modeline - sorry for all the silly questions but its a while
since I got down and dirty with my X server.
