The default i810 video driver can only set modes to those listed in the video BIOS, and you bought a machine with a sufficiently broken BIOS to not list the native panel size.
Thanks, that rattled my memory.
Running the '915resolution' prog from http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/download.html in a rc. startup to hack a proper video bios mode line lets X choose the correct resolution.
Given that we are never, ever, going to ship 915resolution in Core, I would appreciate it if you'd test the 'intel' driver as well, since the next major release of the i810 driver is expected to be based on that branch.
