xorg upgrade i810->intel driver broke 1600x1200 resolution on Intel 865G chipset

Package: xorg
Version: 7.2-5
Distribution: Debian Lenny (testing)
Kernel: 2.6.22.6

Intel Driver:
ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel             2:2.1.0-2

After running apt-get dist-upgrade and switching my xorg.conf to use "intel"
instead of i810 (which no longer exists) I no longer can run at 1600x1200.

I have tried the 915 resolution 'hack' but to no avail.

My xorg.conf is shown below and my Xorg.0 log is attached and bzip2d.

Any help would be appreciated as the highest resolution I can achieve is
now only 1280x1024.

It appears the i810 driver is now obsolete and no longer supported so
reverting back is also not an option.

Thanks,

Justin.
