Yes, my laptop have an LCD panel and a VGA output. In my test I've
tried to test only the LCD output.

Yes, AGP is activated (I use a GENERIC kernel) :
d400:~/>dmesg|grep agp
agp0: <Intel 8285xM (85xGM GMCH) SVGA controller> on vgapci0
agp0: detected 892k stolen memory
agp0: aperture size is 128M

Yes it seem pretty small. Could it be a bug somewhere ?

Which seem strange because I did'nt write this freq. in my xorg.conf

It seem that xorg did'nt care of the "Modes" or VertRefresh, ... I put
in my xorg.conf
