Ok, so I did the little bios hack then generated the modeline from the logs as instructed in this very handy page : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Widescreen_Resolutions_(WSXGA)
My logs for the 2007WFP showed :
(II) I810(0): clock: 146.2 MHz Image Size: 434 x 270 mm (II) I810(0): h_active: 1680 h_sync: 1784 h_sync_end 1960 h_blank_end 2240 h_border: 0 (II) I810(0): v_active: 1050 v_sync: 1053 v_sync_end 1059 v_blanking: 1089 v_border: 0
And so my resulting modeline is : ModeLine "1680x1050" 146.2 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089
Now I have _almost_ the right result, it looks ok, width is find, but the bottom gnome panel is missing from the screen and the fonts look like it's not running in native resolution..
This monitor is an LCD one, right? Did you configure X to use sub-pixel font rendering? Text doesn't look nice in LCD monitors without this. Anyway, according to your next paragraph, you may really not be using the native resolution of the monitor.
Funny thing is the monitor display menu says the resolution is 1280x1024 @ 64 but there is no panning around the screen and both gnome and X report 1680x1050..
I think you should trust the information provided by your monitor :) Did you try to set the resolution using "Modes" in the Screen section of xorg.conf, instead of using "ModeLine"? Also, FYI, I have a notebook which uses intel 945GM, but so far I have not been able to make it work using xorg i810 driver, for xorg >= 6.9. It worked well in FC4 with xorg 6.8, but I can only use it with the VESA driver in FC5. Maybe you're experiencing a driver problem.
Might just go buy a real video card as this damn integrated intel didn't come with DVI, anybody know why on earth some computers still ship with either Analog or floppy disks?
You'll certainly get better results with DVI.
