Which means that you have VESA mode.

You could try to add those IDs to the driver(s) (ie. the Intel GART 
driver, and the Intel Extreme graphics driver).
However, since you only have DVI out, the chances aren't good that it 
will just work then (I have a DVI card for my Intel G3 series, but 
didn't find the time/interest to work on that yet, since my monitor 
manages to show a perfect image with VGA).
