[SOLVED] Intel video drivers

so my monitor goes to 1280X1024, but Arch is only showing 1024x784 (or whatever the step down of that res is).

I have a integrated Intel G965 video card. I installed the xf86-video-intel module, but it runs the vesa drivers.

Help?

Have you set supported HorizSync and VertRefresh rates in xorg.conf file?

I think so.... I used this command:
Code:
hwd -xa
would that set it? I mean it looks like it on my xorg.conf.
