I haven't succeeded at all yet :-( - see my 
thread from late August. I believe there are a 
couple of people with them.

So far my experience is that whatever I put on my 
xorg.conf, it still sets the output to 1280x768. 
Needless to say, my old CRT TV couldn't quite 
manage that ! Since I've just got a new 32" LCD, 
I'm hopeful that I'll get a bit further now.

Suggestion was to fit a low profile 8400GS card 
and forget the build-in Intel graphics.
