Is you laptop relatively new? I bought a Compaq Presario v6030US a few
weeks after it hit store shelves and I had to wait 2-3 months before
before the driver for my graphics chipset (nvidia geforce go 6150) was
included in Xorg. I was only getting 1024x768 and thought that maybe I
was doing something wrong. Nope. I just had to wait for support.
Actually, I wasn't even waiting on Xorg, I was waiting for Debian to
include the latest Xorg version in Sid. I'm not good at compiling
things from outside of Debian. By the way, Nvidia still does not have a
driver for my hardware.
