If you don't get your desired resolution, try to emerge xorg-server without the hal USE flag.

i added -hal for xorg-x11 in package.use
and re emerged xorg-x11
still no change.

kde desktopsettings display earlier was showing 75 and 60 v sync options.
now it shows only 75
your suggestion of vsync 60 looks promising
i will try it.

it did not help in modes.
but the jagged sides of the screen has improved and there is a little v size increase.
now it allows modes 800x600 and downwards
it does not look at the modes line in the xorg.conf at all.
xorg runs its own auto sense.

Well, maybe it's a nonsense, but do you have the graphic card driver installed correctly? I used to have a similar problem (not being able to adjust the size of image to my wide-screen) until I installed the correct drivers...

Another trick could be to boot the LiveCD and if it displays everything properly, see it's auto-created xorg.conf for some clue...

[padoor]

i have only pclos,ubuntu,knoppix live cds
gentoo live cd i dont have.
ubuntu xorg.conf just does not say what driver but configured video driver it says
pclos has only 800x600 res
knoppix i will try if it can give a clue
will re merge uf udev help someway?
how to manually select a driver?
obviously it needs some other driver than i810

it is p4 gegabyte mobo
xp also does not have a vga compatible driver installed.
xf86-video-vga-4.1 does not merge saying nptl not matching with mesa or some such thing.
