I only wish it were the Intel video controller. It's the ATI X1400. I
finally got the resolution I need, and Google Earth running, bu adding
these sections to xorg.cong:
Section "Module"
load "GLcore"
load "glx"
load "dri"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable" # this makes DRI work with fglrx
EndSection
And by adding Modes "1680x1050" to the Screen|Display section.
