16 Unfortunately they didnt help me as I have a laptop with a built in LCD
17 of 768 pixels (v), and try as I might I cant overide it even when I am
18 using it on an external monitor/projector with a much higher, but still
19 valid resolution for the chipset :( Windows seems to be able to do
20 it ... but not modular X. (I did it using the old xfree on a different
21 laptop - so I think it might be an modular xorg driver limitation)
