The card is an "Intel 965G" It has linux drivers that are installed and 
working. I tried configuring it with sax2, that did not work.

I have been playing with the xorg.conf file and have made some progress with 
xrandr which gives me the status as:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm
   1024x768       75.1 +   70.1     60.0
   1280x1024      60.0 +   75.0     59.9
   1152x864       75.0     74.8
   832x624        74.6
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
   640x480        75.0     72.8     66.7     60.0
   720x400        70.1
   1024x768_60    60.0*
LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 246mm x 185mm
   1024x768       50.0*+   60.0     40.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        60.0     59.9

(notice that on the first line: "maximum [resalution =] 1280 x 1280"


But this does not match my config file. From xorg.conf:
....
Section "Screen"
  Identifier   "LScreen"
  Device       "Intel 965G"
  Monitor      "monitor-LVDS"
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth      16
    Modes      "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    Virtual    2304 2304
  EndSubSection
EndSection
..
This is the only screen section, and notice the "Virtual    2304 2304"... 
When I run: 
$xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS          
(which apears to be the command I want)
I get:
xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1280x1280 (desired size 2048x768)

I have restarted the computer with the hope that this will take effect, but it 
did not. How do I get my virtual screen size to change? (note that sax2 is 
probably not a good option as I just ripped out a lot of its extra stuff)

Thanks,

-Jesse
