Bill,

I don't have your hardware, but I've had problems in the past with the
intel 950 and a WXGA screen.   I had to

i) kick the video BIOS with 915resolution to tell it the display's
native mode (!), and
ii) create a modeline (I used gtf) to shove into xorg.conf.

What does "Scrunched up" mean? :-)

I recall I also had to kick the machine BIOS to stop forcing horrible
furry expansions of resolutions lower than the native mode.

cheers,
R.
