Look for Generic LCD 800X600
that's what worked on my laptop (a Gateway solo 2500).

If not, Generic 800X600 *should* also work until you can google around and find the exact settings.

(a hint: Downloading your specification docs from Gateway is a HUGE help in knowing exactly what you have in your laptop)
