All, I have bought a DELL 510 m and have installed Linux Mandrake 10.1. This is the community edition version. I have tried to switch the screen resolution to 1400 * 1050 (which is possible when running XP on the same computer) but without success. When I try to test this new settings, the screen switch to a mode but nothing is readible ... Have you already had a similar problem? I am a newbie but really willing to help for this issue. Do not hesitate to ask for additional info. Thanks in advance, Vincent
please attach your xorg config and log. Also what video hardware are you using?

Hello, I am using an IBM T42 with an ati Radeon mobility 9600 and i have the same problem in Debian. If you wish I can send you a screenshot of the problem and my config and log files. I also want to mention that XFree86 has the same problem!
the i830 and upwards ignores modelines and uses the BIOS to do the mode setting so it can only use BIOS supplied mode lines... you might give 855resolution a try so you can add the line to your BIOS.. google for 855resolution it might also work with the latest Xorg CVS as well as Alanh mentions getting more info from the BIOS.... we can do nothing about it as Intel don't give this info out....
