Needing help with display problems

[Anne Wilson]

My new laptop has an Intel WXGA video card - and I have no more detail than 
that.  dpms identifies it as an "LCD panel 1280x1024", yet X insists that 
1024x768 is the best it can do.  That produces horrible distortions, so it's 
important to get this sorted.

I tried commenting out the dpms option and adding a Modes line, but still I'm 
stuck with the same display.  Running xrandr in konsole gives me

Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
	1024x768	61.0*
	800x600	61.0
	640x480	60.0
	1024x600	 0.0

Before I tried to fix things I think I was seeing 1024 x 600, as the 1024x768 
does fill my screen, whereas the original display was taller than the screen.

Any ideas what might be causing the problem, and what I could do about it?
