Тот же ноут. Вот как делаю я. Заходиш в Приложения->Причие->Экран и графика. Если нет этого пункта то сделай его видимым в настройках меню. Во вкладке Графическая плата выбери intel 945, во вкладке Экран выбери LCD Panel 1280x800. Перезапусти иксы. Затем окрой файл xorg.conf и в твоём мониторе выстави нужное разрешение. После этого ребуни бук и радуйся. Делал так на разных релизах всё работает после этой правки на ура. Вот содержание моего xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
