Well ... it looks like 1024x768 resolution is not possible on a laptop using the intel 852/855MG chip without a commercial driver. These two posts, at least in the absence of other information, nails this coffin down. commercial X http://www.xig.com/Pages/Atop/Topics/Topic-Trouble-XFree.html linuxquestions.org archive thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2004/02/3/118311 I'm a bit disapointed. The XFree version currently installed on this Sarge installation is 4.3 ... would it be worth it to try to upgrade to 4.4? I searched but the highest XF86 version I found on the debian.org package search was 4.3. Would it be worth it to try the new X.org Xserver? A little bit desperate as I'm finding the 800x600 resolution is just unworkable, and purchasing a commercial xserver is a bit offputting.
