10" screen on 12,1" after update

i've just done the update of xorg-server after the pacman error on http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69488 and my screen shrinked:mad:... i'm not able to make it work right on my portégé R100.
could someone give me some help?
my screen is 12,1 inches and now, with the new video output looks llike a 10 inches screen. i've tried to modify my xorg.conf but ti did not work. my previous resolution was 1024x768 and until now worked for me.

Re: 10" screen on 12,1" after update

I solve it out, after various proves, by adding to my monitor section     

    HorizSync    28.0 - 96.0 # Warning: This may fry old Monitors
    VertRefresh  50.0 - 75.0 # Very conservative. May flicker.
    ModeLine "1024x768"   65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344    768  771  777  806 -hsync -vsync

sorry for this obsolete topic, but i'm a newbie with worg.conf
