    Hi,
    I have a problem with my debian install.
    I have install debian with gnome.
    But the systen can't work with wide resolution, the hightest resolution I can use is 1028x1024 (it's not a wide resoluton).
    I have a screen with the native resoluton 1680x1050.
    I look in the xorg.conf and I see
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
            Identifier      "Default Screen"
            Device          "Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller"
            Monitor         "SyncMaster"
            DefaultDepth    24
            SubSection "Display"
                    Depth           1
                    Modes           "1680x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
            EndSubSection
    
    I have install too the package : i915-resolution.
    But when I do 915resolution -l
    I see
    Code:
    Chipset: 946GZ
    BIOS: TYPE 1
    Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $268
    Mode Table Entries: 27
    
    Mode 30 : 640x480, 8 bits/pixel
    Mode 32 : 800x600, 8 bits/pixel
    Mode 34 : 1024x768, 8 bits/pixel
    Mode 38 : 1280x1024, 8 bits/pixel
    Mode 3a : 1600x1200, 8 bits/pixel
    Mode 3c : 1920x1440, 8 bits/pixel
    Mode 41 : 640x480, 16 bits/pixel
    Mode 43 : 800x600, 16 bits/pixel
    Mode 45 : 1024x768, 16 bits/pixel
    Mode 49 : 1280x1024, 16 bits/pixel
    Mode 4b : 1600x1200, 16 bits/pixel
    Mode 4d : 1920x1440, 16 bits/pixel
    Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel
    Mode 52 : 800x600, 32 bits/pixel
    Mode 54 : 1024x768, 32 bits/pixel
    Mode 58 : 1280x1024, 32 bits/pixel
    Mode 5a : 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel
    Mode 5c : 1920x1440, 32 bits/pixel
    
    I don't understand how can I have the wide resolution on my deskop.
    I try to reconfigure my xorg, but it's alway bad.

    Regards.
    Fabien
