I managed to get the vesa driver to work in 1024x768 mode, but 
it's really ugly, since the display is actually 1366x768, and 
everything is stretched horizontally to fit.

I think that a newer xf86-video-int4el driver might help, but it 
seems that the xf86-video-intel driver in xsrc is version 2.7.1, 
from some time in 2009, and the one in pkgsrc is the same.  I see 
this comment in the CVS log for pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-intel:

----------------------------
revision 1.21
date: 2009-08-10 08:17:21 +0200;  author: wiz;
hasso says that 2.8.0 is almost useless for any user not using Linux,
because it now only supports DRI2 or KMS.

Downgrade to 2.7.1nb1.
----------------------------

So, will we get DRI2 or KMS any time soon?
