How can I force xorg to use 1440x900?
Right now it's using 1400x1050 which is not right for this 19"
wide-screen, (supposed to be 1440x900).
(Using KDE3.5 & xorg-server-1.4.2).
(Probable reason for xorg selecting wrong screen-size is my KVM switch
so, basically [at this point] just looking for a work-around.)
(But actually, when I  plug directly into the monitor, this one still
does not seem get it right every time, so also could be a limitation
on the part of the (on-board video card.)
(This xorg.conf file created by  X -configure  while plugged directly
to monitor).

Here is the pertinent part of xorg.conf

        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
        BoardName   "82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     1
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     4
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection
