Unfortunately you *do* need that ugly 915 hack... when testing Ubuntu, 
Gentoo and Fedora on my other Inspiron 6400 that was the only way to get 
the graphic's the 1280x800 way.

When installed you shouldn't even notice that it's there as it'll run 
with init at startup way before you get to starting x.org.
