The card on the laptop as per lspci is: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM | Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated | Graphics Device (rev 02) | The xrandr -q output is: | $ xrandr -q | Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024 | VGA connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | 304mm x 228mm | 1024x768 60.0*+ 75.1 70.1 60.0* | 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 | 640x480 75.0 72.8 60.0 | 720x400 70.1 | LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm | 1024x768 60.0*+ 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0 | 832x624 74.6 | 800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 | 640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9 | 720x400 85.0 | 640x400 85.1 | 640x350 85.1 | As you can see the maximum screen is being reported as 1024x1024 | instead of 2048x768 (or 2048x2048). I have tried changing my xorg.conf | and specifying a larger virtual desktop also but Ubuntu switches to | low resolution mode under new xorg.conf file. | Could someone please help. Check out "Intel Linux Graphics: Dual Head Setup How To"[1]. I used that to have my 1440x900 notebook LCD working with my 1440x900 desktop LCD, getting a 2880x900 resolution :). But, I've only tried with 965G, not with 855GM chipset.
