widescreen 1440x900 not filling monitor!

I just got a Hanns-G HW191D today and I have been tweaking with xorg to get the 1440x900 resolution promised by the product. It works, but there is a slight problem in that the top inch or so of the monitor is a big black strip, so that the 1440x900 does not fill up the screen, but is compressed into the space below that black strip.

I used 915resolution to replace the 1280x1024 resolution on my VBIOS, and trying to replace the others gives a "no input signal" error. I'm using the i810 driver and I have an Intel 845G integrated chip. I have tried most things and it will not fill up that top part of the screen. Before using 915resolution and using 1280x1024 resolution, the screen was filled but stretched to fill the width, so I know that the top part is usable. And this happens in GDM, Gnome, and Fluxbox.

I have attached the output of 915resolution and my xorg.conf. Please help!
