Dear All,
I come from FreeBSD world. This is my first time setting up a CentOS on my laptop Dell Vostro 1400 with intel 965GM chipset. I am having problem here and need your help.
I have 5.1 release installed.
I have trouble to get 1280x800 resolution. The driver used is I810. I don't know if the chipset is too new for the xorg driver, and can anyone tell me if there is a fix, maybe with 915resolution?
Any information is helpful. Thanks here in advance.

This did not work here on an acer laptop with C5.1; because I used the 915resolution rpm from rpmforge and this does not include an init script...
I did to make it work:
- installed the 915resolution-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.rpm from rpmforge - added the following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local /usr/sbin/915resolution 54 1280 800 32 - that's all; no need to fiddle with xorg.conf because it just changes the reolution #54 from 1024x768 to 1280x800
