Widescreen problem [Allready searched forum]


Hi!
I got a new Acer - Aspire 5000 Laptop! I has SIS M760GX Video adapter. Everything looks really strange! The default resolution is 1024x800. I'm trying to get 1280x800! I'm running Slackware 10.2. Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Modes"
    Identifier "16:10"
    Modeline "1280x800_60.00"  83.46  1280 1344 1480 1680  800 801 804 828  -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "My Monitor"
    HorizSync   31.5 - 50.0

    Modeline "1280x800_60.00"  83.46  1280 1344 1480 1680  800 801 804 828  -HSync +Vsync
    VertRefresh 40-90
    UseModes "16:10"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "VESA Framebuffer"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"

#   DefaultDepth 8
#   DefaultDepth 16
    DefaultDepth 24
#   DefaultDepth 32

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       32
        Modes "1280x800"
    EndSubsection

EndSection
I used gtf 1280 800 60 to get Modeline. I tryd to change resolution in KDE, but it only provides strandart resolutions. Also I used ctrl alt [+/-] to change resolution, but nothing is happening.. I really hope I wont need any modules. Any suggestions? Thank you!
