Bug Description

Under Warty and xFree86, I had the opportunity to set my screen resolution up to
1600x1200.
Now, with the move to Hoary and xorg, I'm stuck to 1280x1024. I've tried much
things (ModeLines, etc.), but with no results.
My config :
Chipset Intel 865G (16384 Mb RAM "stolen")
Screen : Dell 2001FP

You'll find xorg.conf and Log attached.

xorg and xfree compared

The bug is still there with Xorg under Breezy (fresh install). I attached the
XFree and xorg config and log files, to be able to compare.
Under XFree (Hoary), 1200x1600 is OK
Under xorg (Breezy), 1024x1200 is the max resolution.
