I was finally able to give an old laptop the 1024 x 768 resolution I
knew the LCD could do (from the 800 x 600 + large gray border around it
it did do because Ubuntu 9.10 did a "monitor not detected" on me) by
adding an xorg.conf text file in /etc/X11 with just the following few
lines only:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 60-60
VertRefresh 43-117
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
