not (yet) avail in bpo, unfortunatly - I'd be eager to upgrade too, for same
reason.
But I've managed for a reasonable tradeoff: in xorg.conf set
Modes "1280x800" "1024x768"
then when on 1024x768 use xrandr (stock in Etch is fine) to switch to same
mode, make virtual = real screens.
Do the converse after switching to LFP.
