Limited Screen Resolution Choices

[Richard Querin]

I'm running Breezy and I'm not able to get 1152x864 as one of the choices
when I change screen resolution. I am running a dual boot xp machine and
have no problem running that resolution in XP. I've tried both manually
configuring my xorg.conf file and re-running the xorg setup with 'sudo
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. The latter method *does* modify the
xorg.conf file but doesn't change the available resolutions when I change
the resolution from the menus.

've purposely set it up to only give 1280x1024, 1152x864 and 1024x768 as
available choices via the xorg reconfiguration (as can be seen in the
snippet from my xorg.conf file below:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation i915 Integrated Graphics Controller"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Compaq MV720"

VertRefresh 50-100
EndSection

Section "Screen"

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection


However, the screen resolution dialog still gives me: 1280x1024, 1024x768,
800x600 and 640x480 as the choices. I'd *really* like to run it at 1152x864.
I'm currently running at 1280x1024 and truth be told, my eyes are starting
to sting... I don't think this monitor is really up to the task for that
resolution.
