Hi,

Sorry I can't help you as I've got a similar problem using same server and
intel driver versions using Ross' ubuntu feisty packages though  (thanks
again ross for providing them!). When starting the server it refuses to use
the panel's 1440x900 resolution (it's an LG flat panel connected through
VGA) saying something like "1440x900" (bad mode
clock/interlace/doublescan)". Here is the xorg log:

If I then use xrand1.2 to switch between the LG panel and the internal
laptop screen it detects the 1440x900 resolution and 'xrandr --outoput VGA
--auto" switches to 1440x900 but it looks distorted and the screen only
fills half of the LG panel, see this picture (maybe you andrew can try this
to see if it helps):

Here is the output of 'xrandr --verbose' with the panel conected and my
xorg.conf

lspci reports my card as "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)", my guess is that the EDID
information is not read correctly but I'm not sure, anyone with similar
problems on the intel 2.0.0 driver?
