And it definitely does it?  1280x800 is a fairly common panel resolution
on larger laptops, but normally the panel will be reporting the
resolutions it can handle and X will be displaying those.

Here's my current set, with nothing plugged into the VGA or DVI ports:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 3360 x 2048
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
0mm x 0mm
   1440x900       60.0*+
   1280x854       59.9  
   1360x768       59.8  
   1280x800       59.8  
   1152x864       60.0  
   1280x720       59.9  
   1152x768       59.8  
   1024x768       60.0     59.9  
   800x600        60.3     59.9  
   640x480        59.9     59.4  
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


I suppose it could be an out of date BIOS, if it really does do a higher
resolution.

What's the exact model number?  I know you said nx6320, but that covers
quite a range of actual models and resolutions - there should be a more
specific model number on a sticker on the bottom somewhere.

Cheers,
					Andrew.
