It's a wide screen. I don't know that agpgart will help; the problem seems to be that the vbios of the i915 chipset does not claim to be capable of the mode in question. > You may also want to investigate BIOS settings for memory allocated > and Xorg.0.log for more relevant information (like how the panel > is detected and such) The panel is detected correctly, but even with the modeline set explicitly, it still says it doesn't have such a mode. The 855resolution program available from a web search patches the vbios, but I don't know if I feel like porting it. It's implemented as a command, but it looks like something that belongs in the driver attach routine for the chipset. --Mark
