Ugly solution:
Find an old live CD that gives the right resolution (on my iBook G3,
Ubuntu Gutsy works)
Boot it.
Copy the xorg.conf to an external device.
Reboot with the current Debian.
Copy the xorg.conf from the external device
Restart X
Keep that xorg.conf safe (e.g. at least have a copy somewhere outside
/etc in case a later upgrade overwrites it).
