dual headache

[Alex Polite]

Hi.

I'm struggling to get xinerama right on a IBM Thinkpad X30.

I can't get the resolution of the external screen to go above
1024x768. Setting it to 800x600 works but if I set it to 1280x1024 or
1600x1200 it falls back to 1020x768.

I'm not sure what parts of the log files are relevant, but one thing I
noticed is that my "built-in modes" (whatever that is) doesn't include
anything above 1024x768.

grep Built /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "1024x768"
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "1024x600"
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "800x600"
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode "640x480"
(**) I810(1): *Built-in mode "1024x768"


Here's the config for the external screen.

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
  Device "Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
  DefaultDepth 16
  SubSection "Display"
  Depth 16
  #Modes "1024x768" #results in 1024x768 in CRT

  Modes "1280x1024" #results in 1024x768 in CRT
  #Modes "1600x1200" #results in 1024x768 in CRT
  EndSubSection
