[vox-tech] X resolution problems

In xorg.conf:


Section "Screen"

   Identifier  "Default Screen"
   Device      "Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Device"
   Monitor     "Generic Monitor"
   DefaultDepth   24

   SubSection "Display"
      Depth    24
      Modes    "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "320x200"
   EndSubSection

   SubSection "Display"
      Depth    16
      #Virtual 1024 768
      Modes    "320x240" "800x600" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "1280x960" "800x600"
   EndSubSection

EndSection


The problem is that when I switch to 320x200, the screen displays a
viewport, 320x240 in size, looking onto a 1280x1024 desktop.  In other
words, the resolution is native 1280x1024, but only a 320x200 piece of it
shows.  The rest of the screen is a very large black border.

When X starts, I see the following message:

   (1152x864,Generic Monitor) mode clock 100000MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
   (320x200,Generic Monitor) mode clock 100000MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz
   (1600x1200,Generic Monitor) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 140MHz

I'm curious how a monitor that can display 1280x1024 has trouble displaying
320x200.  I *really* would like 320x200 so I can play scummvm at full
screen.

Any hints/ideas on how to force this particular resolution?

Thanks,
Pete
