widescreen resolution/915resolution problems

Hi,

I have a sony vaio tx3xp laptop which has a resolution of 1366x768 and a 945GM intel graphics chipset. I am currently following guides on the wiki to get the native and weird resolution working as currently it's running at 1024x768. However I have hit a snag. I am trying to use 915resolution but the resolution I replace with my own disappears completely when I restart X, if I reboot the resolution comes back in it's original form not 1366. So I wanted to ask whether or not I should have a modeline for this resolution and whether that was causing the problems? I don't know a lot about xorg.conf yet unfortunately. I have installed the xf86-video-i810 package and I am geting about 900fps in glxgears so I assume it's working(the i915 wasn't built for games tongue ) so I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. 915resolution reports my chipset correctly as 945GM.

It's fixed, I put in a modeline and it worked perfectly. I'm gonna make a wiki page.
