   This video chip seems to generate quite a lot of traffic on newsgroups and    
   blogs, isn't it?   
      
   I just wanted to share my (tiny) experience:   
      
   I have got a display with a native resolutions of 1400x1055.   
   I have read quite a lot of postings explaining the necessary twaeks to fool    
   the driver, in order to accept this resolution.   
   I am not speaking about his approach, I will probably twaek it later, when I    
   have learned more on Linux.   
      
   I am just trying to explain why Ubunto sticked to 1024x768 although a    
   resolution of 1200X1024 would has been possible.   
      
   I lost quite a couple of hours fiddling with xorg.conf, until I understood    
   that I had a DHCP enabled second monitor connected to the VGA output. *After    
   disconnecting that monitor I got 1200X1024  without problem.*   
      
   As far as I have read today, *getting dual-head out of the driver I810 from    
   XORG* is woodoo alchemy.   
   I could not find any posting of someone who succeeded, did someone?   
      
   Hoping that could help anybody...
