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.
