The diff between previous Xorg.0.log and the present is: 15c15 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue Nov 11 14:18:44 2008 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue Nov 11 13:20:39 2008 2033c2033 < (II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x800" (no mode of this name) --- > (II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x768" (no mode of this name) 2122,2124c2122,2124 < (II) I810(0): Allocated 4 kB for HW cursor at 0xffff000 (0x07b99000) < (II) I810(0): Allocated 16 kB for HW (ARGB) cursor at 0xfffb000 (0x07b9c000) < (II) I810(0): Allocated 4 kB for Overlay registers at 0xfffa000 (0x07b9a000). --- > (II) I810(0): Allocated 4 kB for HW cursor at 0xffff000 (0x07790000) > (II) I810(0): Allocated 16 kB for HW (ARGB) cursor at 0xfffb000 (0x07794000) > (II) I810(0): Allocated 4 kB for Overlay registers at 0xfffa000 (0x07791000). not pretty much, execept that it neither accepts 1280x800 On that portable WinXP lets me choose between 1280x768, 1024x768, 800x600 and SuSE Linux 10.1 between exactly the same, plus 640x480...
