I tend to use the 'intel' driver, the other one it detect never seems to
work for  me??

You are better off using GUI to edit these, but

in your /etc/X11/xorg.cong

Section "Device"
Driver   "inter"

and

Section "Screen"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600 at 60" "1024x768 at 60" "1152x864 at 60" "1280x1024 at 60"


Or whatever your screen resolutions are. Be careful with the refresh
rates though, you get it wrong and it can cause problems, maybe damage.
