[solved] 1680x1050 with intel i810 driver

I just did a fresh install of Arch on a HP D530. It has a intel 865G chipset. I've tried a lot of different settings in xorg.conf but I can't get 1680x1050 to work. I've installed 915resolution and made the needed configs. I've also tried to use the intel driver. But with that X doesn't start at all.
My minitor is a Samsung 205BW

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        HorizSync       30.0 - 81.0
        VertRefresh     56.0 - 75.0
        ModeLine "1680x1050_60" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync$
        Option         "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "i810"
        Card        "Intel 810"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1680x1050"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

How do I fix this?

I had Xubuntu installed before and there it worked right out of the box. No config at all. Why is it so difficult to fix this in Arch?

Thanks

My "Device" section is as follows:

Section "Device"
Option "VBERestore" "true"
Option "DRI" "true"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "All"
BoardName "All"
EndSection

I note you have a ...Card "810".. which may conflict with "Card0"

Just an observation....

In what way does X not start with the intel driver?

Hi, I solved it at last. Don't know exactly what I did. Dut now I use the intel driver. And it works.

lilsirecho:
What card/chipset do you have. Same as mine?

My mobo is Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2C so the Intel chips are intel945 and ICH7.
