[Intel-gfx] Work-around wanted for laptop i3-330 1366x768 video

[Barry Zuckerman]

Sadly, OpenSuSE 11.2 Live-CD locks up just like Knoppix 6.2 (18 November 2009)
during initial boot.  They seem to be stuck on 1024x768 resolution where
1366x768 is correct.  Manual override in single-user mode to set resolution
allows the machine to go visual X after setting the 1024x768 (sole option
given) parameter under sax2.

I may have to wait on subsequent releases Fedora or OpenSuSE unless
someone has another idea.  I'll try Jesse's approach in xorg.conf tuning
today.

Thanks, Barry.
