This stuff seems no more strange I think than what Kevin helped me
figure out with my Samsung 50" DLP as a 16x9 VGA monitor... which of
course says its VGA resolution was only 1024x768, well, we showed it
who's boss!! BZflag ROCKS on there!! Here's the important bits we
added to my xorg.conf and below that a link to the entire file for
those who are super curious:

Unfortunately the only way I've been able to properly run widescreen
resolutions on this 915GM is by using the xserver-xorg-video-intel
driver package in Edgy/universe (915resolution doesn't help) and
modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
[...]

Express Graphics Controller"

BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
