Even with a fresh 8.10 install the resolution is still incorrect and the top gnome bar doesn't cover the whole screen. The login screen resolution is also incorrect even after mirrored is switched off and corrected to 1280x800 on the desktop. So! I wanted to Point this link out to anyone who has an x200 with the screen resolution problems. The xorg on this site (10/31/08) Running fresh 8.10. works perfectly for me. Cheers!
