Thanks for your reply. Adding "DefaultDepth 24" did not help. And
xrandr also shows only one mode "1024x768". I tried reading the xrandr
manual but did not quite understand how to add a "1280x800" mode.

Also i810 is also what Ubuntu is using to give the the correct
resolution. But in case I do need to install another intel driver from
the ports, can you tell me how to do that?

Thanks,
Nishita
