My apologies, that log is taken after I tried switching the video driver to VESA in an act of desperation. It was previously set to the Intel driver, I checked the Xorg.0.log at that time and it definitely contained the all-important: '(II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x800" (no mode of this name)' line.
I have now installed 915resolution and all is well. Hacks and workarounds should be avoided though, it would be far more preferable that this 'just work'. I've included my xorg.conf in the hope that it might be some help. Feisty correctly detects the resolution available for the conf file, why can't X? :) ** Attachment added: "Xorg.conf for Intel chipset as detected (correctly) by Feisty" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6805166/xorg.conf -- Widescreen LCD resolution incorrect. https://launchpad.net/bugs/24927 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
