Michael: can you file a separate bug please. If you read the text in:

  /etc/init.d/915resolution

This is currently:

    # For want of a better approach to selecting modelines for stealing;...
    # this expression grabs us the highest *numbered* mode in each
    # bit-depth that the BIOS already lists.
    #
    # An argument for using the highest mode-number, rather than the

    # mode to be a lower resolution it will no longer be the highest.

I'm certainly welcome to suggestions (BTW, this problem will have disappeared by Dapper+1 because Intel have donated code to Xorg to be able to program the modes, rather than going through the BIOS.
