You can still do xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 to get it into native mode right? The bug is that we detect a non-existent TV out and X picks the highest mode that both outputs (the TV and your LVDS (laptop panel)) can handle. If you un-mirror screens (there's a checkbox in the dialog to do that), you should be able to select the LVDS and increase the resolution for that to 1280x800.
I issued xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 and un-mirrored screens. Now resolution is correct but system cannot be used as bars with menus are on the far right of the screen and cannot be repositioned, so I cannot see menus and operate on them.How do I recover from it?? I cannot see a terminal window. I think that I have to switch to text mode, and then??
I am seeing this behaviors since KMS is enabled in rawhide.
