My monitor is not DDC compliant, it will work at 1600*1200 with this 
laptop (is capable of much more but lappy isn't).

However I can not get it to run beyond 1024*768, inital tries had me 
stuck at 800*600.

I have run my laptop with a DDC capable monitor and get sizes I expect.

I have got linux running with this monitor fine, I beleive the problem 
is related to xorg trying to dynamicly configure itself.
