heres a post on a chip set with same issue from
this may be a foreign looking piece of help

VGA XFree86/X.Org
Hardware: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
To make it working just set your video driver to i810:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "i810"
EndSection
The screen section looks like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
To get the 1400x1050 resolution working, you have to patch the video bios. There's a utility for that called 915resolution.
(for debian install the 915resolution package). The command to run at every bootup is 915resolution 3c 1400 1050.
After this, X will accept the resolution.
Here's my complete xorg.conf file
