The KDE-Libs issue you mean is this?

But it's an issue nonetheless (we had some misdetections in the past,
it probably means our fstab generator is not 100% yet). What did it
generate wrong? Could you file a bug report, attaching your
/proc/partitions and the resulting fstab?

Ok, I added more modes there. Xorg just ignores the ones the card
can't handle, so I just added every mode I could think of there:

Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x854"
"1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

If anybody needs a mode that's not listed, now is the time to say so.

Besides adding the Synaptics package to the CD, would any extra config
step be necessary?
