Hello,

There is still no 1400x1050 however.

There is also a mode 1280x1024 showing up in XrandR, that just doesn't seem to 
be supported by my internal LCD (it just turns black, and reverts to the 
previous configuration after 15 seconds thanks to the kde applet). the other 
resolutions (1280x800, 1024x768, and lower) work fine.

my conf & log are here:

http://front7.smartlounge.be/~kervel/xorg.conf
http://front7.smartlounge.be/~kervel/Xorg.0.log

This is after removing / commenting everything related to resolution and 
refresh from my xorg.conf. Btw i'm amazed it works so well with no 
configuration at all (switching resolutions works fine, still have to try to 
connect an external monitor) ...

greetings,
Frank
