[NTLUG:Discuss] i810 - stuck on 1152x768 [Slackware]

[terry]

I have fresh install of Slackware 12.0 on a Compaq Presario w/celeron
2.7Gprocessor. The display adapter is "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL"
and am
running video driver "i810".
It works but xorg is stuck on 1152x768 and cannot budge from it;  Although I
have no "1152x768" setting in xorg.conf
My monitor is not designed for 1152x768 and really needs a conventional
pixel size of 1024x768 or 800x600  (all images are too narrow).
Here is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

==============================
Control Center's "Display" configuration is no help;  I tried changing to
1024x768 or 800x600 several times and it just keeps reverting back to
1152x768
