Adding "DefaultDepth 24" did not help. And xrandr also shows only one mode "1024x768". I tried reading the xrandr manual but did not quite understand how to add a "1280x800" mode. Also i810 is also what Ubuntu is using to give the the correct resolution. But in case I do need to install another intel driver from the ports, can you tell me how to do that?
