I'm stuck in 800x600..

Anyone know how to install Intel drivers? I've searched and can't find any info.. lspci shows

VGA Comp: Intel Corp Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Int. Graphics Controller
Display Adapter: Intel Corp Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Int. Graphics Controller

the vesa driver should get you to at least 1200x800 (depending on your screen)

I'm an Nvidia guy myself but I just did a forum search on "Intel video driver". Got a lot of hits with recent dates: you hardware mentioned. You might give that a shot.
Good luck. :)

Try

su
yum install 915resolution

Then reboot



915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series Intel graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server.

915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect.

915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the code differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler. 915resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel.

Didn't work.. I found out the max res is 1024x768 on this laptop.. Sigh..

If I uninstall 915resolution will it go back to original? I noticed boot up is a lil slower now..
