I have this issue on a Dell Mini 10. It uses the Poulsbo chipset and the GMA500 graphics chip.

Currently, the display runs at 800x576, but the nominal resolution is 1024x576, so everything looks "Squished". The X-driver currently in use is vesa, but the trick of manually setting the modeline in xorg.conf doesn't work, because the vesa driver refuses to run in the (rather odd) native resolution.

I am running jaunty, lpia arch. Everything works great on the Dell mini 10, with exception of the screen resolution.

I hope to see a proper X-driver soon, but just having the vesa driver work at 1024x576 would be a big improvement.
