[ltp] resolution of 1280x1024 on external monitor (thinkpad r31, chipset 82830)

[wolfgang pauli]

Hi,  
   
I have a thinkpad with a 82830 chipset. I wanted to change the resolution of

the external monitor to 1280x1024 but it won't work. I have the latest xorg
xserver 
installed and am using the driver i810. I think the problem is that my bios
says 
that the resolution is not supported and the i810 driver depends on what the
bios 
says. Unfortunately, I can not update my bios, because I don't have a
working 
battery for my laptop. Does anyone know a solution?  
   
Thanks,  
   
 Wolfgang
