Not sure if this will help or not, but I have an acer laptop with a
widescreen.  I found out that there is a bug in the bios and 1280x800
isn't reported with an intel 855 graphics chip.  Fortunatly someone
wrote a patch.  You can find it here...

I wasn't using mode 58 so I changed it like this



855resolution 58 1280 800



then restart your window manager and it should be fine.  If it does,
run the command when your system boots.

Hope this helps.
