  [FireGL V5000] can't change resolution on compaq nw8240

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati

  I'm using an HP Compaq NW8240 notebook with an ATI Mobility FireGL
  V5000 PCIE chipset. Under 6.10, I could use either the ati driver or
  the fglrx driver to have both widescreen and normal resolutions from
  1920x1200 down to 640x480. In 7.04 the OSS ati driver seems to suffer
  from an inability to use any resolution other than 1920x1200. It seems
  to autodetect all the resolutions my notebook supports, but setting
  any resolution other than 1920x1200 results the screenshot I'm about
  to attach, along with my xorg.conf.

  The fglrx driver enabled by Restricted Drivers Manager works just fine
  (although no AIGLX support with that). With the ATI driver I do get
  both hardware accel and AIGLX, I'm just stuck with that one resolution
