So... I can run this laptop (Dell Inspiron 9100 with ALLLLLL the trappings) under Windows up at 1900x1200. Gorgeous display, really. Well, I've never actually had a hack session on my xorg.conf to get it going at that resolution (its only at 1280x768.... abysmal). Well... I think I found my problem...

Borked Refresh

Yup, according to that my screen is updating -15596 times a second. Huh... guess that explains why i get headaches from coding on MountainDont all the time. Hopefully I'll throw up a fixed version as soon as I restart the X server.

EDIT: Yup, with just a little tweaking the laptop now shows at 1280x800 and 60 Hz refresh. Much better place to start.
