It looks like everything gets correctly detected.. Well, the log says: > [ 6947.293] (II) intel(0): Using user preference for initial modes > [ 6947.293] (II) intel(0): Output LVDS1 using initial mode 1400x1050 > [ 6947.293] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 using initial mode 1280x1024 which implies that it thinks you've asked for 12x10 in xorg.conf. Have you? It's entirely possible that you haven't and that this is simply a bug in X's setup heuristic, but let's check the obvious things first. - ajax
