The problem is that the xfree86 driver relies on the video BIOS to provide the mode information. if the BIOS does not have the mode info for 1280x800 then you are out of luck. Unfortunately intel has not provided specs for setting the mode apart from the BIOS.
Yes, it's true. The BIOS does not have the support of this resolution, but:
- Accelerated-X provides a driver that is working at 1280x768 that is also not supported into the BIOS (not like 1280x800 but much better than 1024x768)
- Windows has drivers working fine.
This means that there is a way to overcome this limitation. Are there any working plan on this matter? Are there any experimental patches that I can try to use?
Can I use framebuffer instead of native i810 driver? If so any suggestion where I can find information about?

Hi all,
I've bought a laptop with Intel 852/855GM graphics chipset and a widescreen 1280x800.
XFree seems to work well but I can't set any different mode than 1024x768, even if I explicitly try to define it as modeline.
Is there anyone has experience on the same problem?
regards
Davide
