Hi all,

My parent's laptop is a Compaq Presario R3304 with 1280x800 screen.

I put here the xorg.conf part about the resolution (the recognise by
Warty and Hoary is automatic but better with Hoary) :

-------------------------[xorg.conf]-----------------------------
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Écran générique"
        HorizSync       28-64
        VertRefresh     43-60
        Option          "DPMS"
        Modeline        "1280x800 at 60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816

EndSection

        SubSection "Display"

                Modes           "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15
                Modes           "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Sorry for my very bad English :-[

Cheers,
Gilles.
