Hi Dave,
I'm not sure I subscribe to this explanation. I had Lucid Lynx running on
this very same laptop and panel, and that was working without a hitch. To be
honest, I ran Kubuntu on that at the time, but technically this all seems to
work, it's just that Ubuntu doesn't take advantage. I will

Hi,
albert23 on #ubuntu-x has pointed out that your problem may well be bug

Hi Sander,
My understanding is the Intel 945 chips have a 2048 horizontal maximum pixel
limit; it can push 4096 pixels with a load of things disabled, but that's
