Yes, I am using Delta-H, the latest gNewSense release. I got it working. I had to Ctl-Alt-F2 over to the text terminal, run gtf (I used $gtf 1024 786 75) to get the Modeline info. Then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Rebooted...and it came up fine...had to change the refresh rate to 75Hz in Screen Resolution from 85Hz, but everything holds even after reboot.
