Can anybody change the resolution to 1280x800?

[Janvier Pang]

Bad news...

But I can not find the supported resolution list as Adam said, how could I
know what resolutions my graphic card supported?

I'll read the document of X.org again carefully, to see if there any
solution for the resolution of my graphic card.

B.Rgds.
