Hey Everyone,

Well, my boss gave in and bought me the laptop.  I've successfully
installed ubuntu edgy eft, although I had to use the alternative text
mode installation as the regular live cd x server crapped out.  After
playing with xorg.conf I am able to use the 3d acceleration for intel
945GM Express video chipset.  However the max resolution I have is
1280x800.  The monitor is capable of 1440x900.  I've added the
following line to the Monitor section of xorg.conf without success.

 Modeline        "1440x900 at 60"   96.30 1440 1544 1688 1904  900  901  904  958

I used a modeline calculator to get the numbers.  The Xorg log says

(II) I810(0): Not using mode "1440x900" (no mode of this name)

Would anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get X to recognize the mode?

Thanks!

Randy
