My new laptop has an Intel WXGA video card - and I have no more

that. dpms identifies it as an "LCD panel 1280x1024", yet X insists that
1024x768 is the best it can do. That produces horrible distortions, so
it's important to get this sorted.
I tried commenting out the dpms option and adding a Modes line, but still
I'm stuck with the same display. Running xrandr in konsole gives me
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 61.0*
800x600 61.0
640x480 60.0
1024x600 0.0
Before I tried to fix things I think I was seeing 1024 x 600, as the
1024x768 does fill my screen, whereas the original display was taller than
the screen.
Any ideas what might be causing the problem, and what I could do about it?
I should have added that it's currently using the vesa driver, as when I
installed F12 I had no display whatsoever.
