i just brought home new samsung 22" widescreen LCD.  so far, i cannot get xorg 
to take anything other than standard CRT type resolutions, such as 1280x1024.  
i took at look at my Xorg.0.log, and saw this:

(II) I810(0): 720x400 at 70Hz
(II) I810(0): 640x480 at 60Hz
(II) I810(0): 640x480 at 67Hz
(II) I810(0): 640x480 at 72Hz
(II) I810(0): 640x480 at 75Hz
(II) I810(0): 800x600 at 56Hz
(II) I810(0): 800x600 at 60Hz
(II) I810(0): 800x600 at 72Hz
(II) I810(0): 800x600 at 75Hz
(II) I810(0): 832x624 at 75Hz
(II) I810(0): 1024x768 at 60Hz
(II) I810(0): 1024x768 at 70Hz

(II) I810(0): 1280x1024 at 75Hz
(II) I810(0): 1152x870 at 75Hz
(II) I810(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0
(II) I810(0): Supported Future Video Modes:
(II) I810(0): #0: hsize: 1680  vsize 1050  refresh: 60  vid: 179

(II) I810(0): Supported additional Video Mode:
(II) I810(0): clock: 146.2 MHz   Image Size:  474 x 296 mm

h_border: 0

v_border: 0
(II) I810(0): Ranges: V min: 56  V max: 75 Hz, H min: 30  H max: 81 kHz, 
PixClock max 170 $
(II) I810(0): Monitor name: SyncMaster
(II) I810(0): Serial No: H2QL700073
(II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
(--) I810(0): Maximum space available for video modes: 12288 kByte
(II) I810(0): Using detected DDC timings
(II) I810(0):   HorizSync 30-81
(II) I810(0):   VertRefresh 56-75
(WW) I810(0): config file vrefresh range 50-100Hz not within DDC vrefresh 
range 56-75Hz

the first part, seems to be the normal video modes that i would expect to see 
from an i810 graphics card, but then right below that, i see video modes that 
would be preferred on my new monitor (1680x1050) in a section 
called "Supported Future Video Modes".  does this mean there is a chance i 
might see proper resolutions for my new monitor, without upgrading to some 
other video card?

my computer has a 915G:

(II) I810(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 915G
(--) I810(0): Chipset: "915G"

if anyone who has a similar setup (with a wide screen monitor), i would 
appreciate if i could be pointed in the right direction.

cheers,
jonathan
