Xorg i810 or Intel driver?

[lenk]

Hi...I just bought a new centrino laptop. You can get more info about it at these sites:

http://www.uniwill.com/products/mobility/223ii0/223ii0.php?HL=2&M=1 - original ODM

http://www.alienware.com - Sentia (rebranded)

http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-laptop-lc2100.html (rebranded)

These laptops are great, small, powerfull and it comes with an embedded linux media player!
I just booted knoppix 3.7 and everything works great except for X which didnt load at 1280x800.

This machine comes with a 12.1" WXGA LCD and runs at 1280x800 resolution.
Here is my lspci:

Which driver for X is best for this chipset? I heard that intel has made a driver available, is that better then Xorg 6.8.1 i810 driver?

I emailed the manufacturer and they don't have any specs on the LCD panel, so I donno what hsync and vsync and modeline to put in xorgconfig.

Can someone with the same chipset as me post their xorgconfig or their modeline, Thanks!

regards,
Lenk

opps... and I'm using the i810 driver

I too was looking at the intel driver, but can't find much on the forums about it.

Perhaps you can just try both? and see which is better for you.
