Comment 47 for bug 297245

I finally managed to get 1280x800 resolution on My Studio (affected hardware) by using VESA driver. Although it would be nice to use my Intel X3100 but I can manage with this resolution currently.

In order to get this i did 2 things mainly:
1) Added this modeline -
modeline "1280x800@60" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -hsync +vsync
(some of the people said it will give me 1280x800 resolution with Vesa - but
for me it didnt work out that way)
saving this to the xorg.conf file and killing X gave me 1024x768 resolution.

2) After this - i used the 915 resolution patch.
Killing X after this patch I was able to boot in 1280x800.

This is only with vesa driver. If I use INTEL instead of VESA I still get the
WSoD.
