The driver posted by Timo works beautifully. The way I did it was go to CTRL+ALT+F2 (actually all the terminal shells show big fonts, which by default is very bad but thtÅ› another story). Then gave the following commands :-
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop dpkg -i --force-conflicts xserver-xorg-video-intel_1.9.93-1ubuntu1_i386 after it was installed then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart this landed me right into 1152*768 & I was able to change resolutions on the fly, good job there Tim :) -- xf86-video-intel 1.9.91 (2.0 RC1) is out, and would be nice to have as the source for the xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting package https://launchpad.net/bugs/90213 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
