I think it means, that the video bios does not know that mode. Have you checked if there is a newer bios for your mobo? I've heard that there are resolution problems with Intel chipsets in X. Have you tried the package 915resolution? $ aptitude show 915resolution Package: 915resolution [snip] Description: resolution modify tool for Intel graphic chipset 915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series Intel graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server. 915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect. If you want to automatically set the resolution on each boot and before X is launched, see /usr/share/doc/915resolution/README.Debian for information about configuring the provided initscript.
