Doc Text:
Previously, using the xrandr command to change the screen resolution of a video device under the Intel Q43/Q45 chipset may have failed. As a result, an attempt to change the resolution again could cause the screen to get blank and go out of sync. With this update, this error has been fixed, and changing the screen resolution no longer causes the screen to get out of sync.

Verified on xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.25.el5_4.1 {x86_64,i386) and xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.67.el5_4.2 {x86_64,i386}

Used hardware T400 with:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)


Problems with changing resolution found on previous versions seem to be fixed now.
