..but now I've moved from dell d400 -> d430 it does work :)

Intel 800/900 Series VBIOS Hack : version 0.5.3
Chipset: 945GM
BIOS: TYPE 1
Mode Table Offset: $C0000 + $269
Mode Table Entries: 36
...
Mode 50 : 640x480, 32 bits/pixel
$ sudo 915resolution 50 1280 800
--- End code ---
where 1280x800 is the native resolution of the screen, then just insert 1280x800x32 in .xsession

915resolution has been updated:
--- Code: ---Title: 915resolution.tce
Description: Changes to video BIOS for Intel 800/900 series graphics chipsets (TESTING)
Version: 0.5.3
Author: Steve Tomljenovic

Size: 6K
Extension_by: florian, Roberto A. Foglietta
Comments: Tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series Intel
graphics chipsets. This includes the 830, 845G, 855G, and 865G
chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, 945G, 946GZ, G965, and Q965
chipsets. This modification may be necessary to display certain
graphics resolutions with an X server, and especially with the
default XVesa that ships with Tiny Core Linux.
Note that modifications to the video BIOS are transient, not
permanent. So, you need to set the configuration every time you
start the machine (and before you start up the X server).
Obvious place to invoke 915resolution in Tiny Core Linux is thus
from /opt/bootlocal.sh
Usage: /usr/local/sbin/915resolution [-l] [Mode# X Y] [depth]
Use the -l flag to get the list of modes and resolution from the
video bios. And use without -l flag to modify one mode with new
resolution and optionally new bits/pixel depth.

Note: this version has been patched in order to work on eeepc too
Change-log: 2009/04/15 patched for eeepc
2008/12/25 First version
Current: 2009/04/15 patched for eeepc
