Please have a look at the actual dimensions: They hardly change! And they do 
never match the resolution you have tried to set up.
For me, this looks like bug 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257746

Can you check which driver you are using for your i845? Just paste the 
output from "hwinfo --gfxcard" as root. If you are using the new intel 
driver, please consult the 10.3 release notes:
| [...]
| The intel driver is still not as stable as i810; use "sax2 -r -m 0=i810"
| to switch back to i810, if you encounter problems that did not occur
| previously with the i810 driver. In those cases, consider to open a bug
| report against the intel driver.
