I think i965 is the better driver for your system, not i915. > I just bought a new dell 34" curved monitor (U3417). > It's max res is 3440X2560, but at that res it complains that no signal > is coming. It works fine at other res (including 2560x1440). Which connector are you using? HDMI output of your laptop is most likely limited to 2560x1600. I checked and many Latitude ultrabooks have a displayport (of mini variety generally) output. If you use that connector you may get the resolution you wanted (you may still need newer drivers). > The dell manual says to get new drivers and I am indeed running an old > kernel, 3.18.16-gentoo.
