Screen Resolution, Xorg, i810 Intel Chipset

I have a IBM ThinkCenter workstation with an Intel i810 chipset and can
only get a resolution of 800x600 maximum. I have read this url dealing
with this chipset and resolution and cannot get anything past 800x600.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html

and here is my /etc/X11/Xorg.conf

PHP Code:


			
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "i810"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        DefaultDepth    16
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes  "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I have tried many different Depths 8 16 24 and Modes ranging from "1280x800" 1024x768". I have a Planar Flat LCD and know that is can handle "1024x768" which I have used before. I need some linux gurus.

You may also need a Monitor section with forced settings for the horizontal and vertical sync. The values for these will depend on your hardware, so this is just an example:

Code:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
    HorizSync	48.4
    VertRefresh	55.0-65.0
EndSection
...
Section "Screen"
    ...
    Monitor     "Configured Monitor"
    ...
EndSection
