Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.0.0-1
Severity: normal

This seems very similar to bug #424952, but manifests differently. 

I have a Dell Dimension with an i845 Rev 1 graphics. I've been happily using it
in 1280x1024 mode for a couple of years. I upgraded today to the new intel
driver and and X started using modes with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If I tried to
force 1280x1024, I would get "no usable screen". Downgrading to the i810
(1.7.2-4) fixed the problem. 

If there's more data you need, let me know.

No reply in two months, so I'm closing this bug.  Gal, feel free to
reopen if you're able to reproduce this with the intel driver version
2.2.1 or newer.  Thanks for your report!

Cheers,
Julien
