How many times should I repeat that the current i810 and vesa drivers

can only use the modes that the BIOS knows about?

You need to use the i915resolution from ports to "fix" your bios for now.
In the future, Xenocara will be updated to use the intel 2.x driver

which doesn't rely on the BIOS for defining the modes anymore, it

should make things easier. (Although the BIOS is still needed for

other informations, and it turns out that there are also lots of

quirks there,,,)
