Regardless we've now got 1280X768 and it looks gorgeous, so she' > s happy. I am trying to do the same, but the intel driver in the xserver-xorg-video-intel package has not helped. I have also tried a modeline suggested by a friend, and it is ignored by X as apparently the hsync is out of range. I have also tried 915resolution, but it says it doesnt work for my chipset. lspci says i have 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Does anyone have any advice on what to try to get this card to do 1680x1050@60hz ? I am running lenny, and the intel driver is the same version there as unstable, so I doubt moving to unstable will help me... Xorg says the following when starting up .

I don't know if using DVI changes anything...
