I'm getting desperate. I feel as if i've tried everything....do i need to buy a Nvidia card or what? :( I've followed your instructions, I've followed the instructions on http://roland-lopez.blogspot.com/2007/03/auto915resolution-ubuntu-resolution-fix.html (I even changed the init path to init.d/rc2.d) I've tried different other things but my screen is stuck on 1280x1024. My xorg.conf now: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[0]" Device "Device[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1680x1050" EndSubsection EndSection and 915resolution -l says my patched mode is mode 41 (1680x1050). But i don't know, if i start sax2 it tells me it couldn't support resolution change because i'd have a framebuffer card :o Section device in xorg.conf says: Section "Device" BoardName "Framebuffer Graphics" BusID "0:2:0" Driver "fbdev" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "ShadowFB" VendorName "VESA" EndSection Do i may need to change something there? Either I'm doing something totally wrong or my card (chip) just doesn't wanna do it... What is it? Thanks alot for the ongoing patience, i really appreciate evwerybody's help here to get my screen to display a 'good' resolution. Thanks!
