Problem with 1280x800 Dapper Drake on Acer Aspire 3000

[Ian Soutar]

I must congratulate the developers on getting the ACPI for this very 
popular laptop the Acer Aspire 3000 correct.    This is the first distro 
to get it right and I have tried many many distros.

I do have a problem with 1280x800 screen resolution.   This worked on 
all the other distros.   I had to edit the X11 file xorg.conf as shown 
below ... this has always worked before.

How do I get this to work??
