I'm using Intel integrated graphics instead of ATI/AMD, and I'm also on a 32-bit kernel instead of AMD64. I'm not sure if this points to separate driver issues, or an issue with X. I've also noticed that the issue seems to affect only the Thinkpad LCD (LVDS1), a monitor connected to VGA1 scales properly.

I am attempting to change the behaviour of the display when I attempt to change screen resolutions in KDE, my monitor (Acer H233H) appears 'stuck' in 1920x1080. When I attempt to switch to a lower resolution, ie, 1280x720 (which is listed as a valid mode), the monitor does not actually change mode, the displayed screen shrinks, with large black bars on all 4 sides. the displayed part of the screen is 1280x720, but, I expected the screen to fill the monitor, not a section of it.
