Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
When I install Gutsy Beta on my Dell Inspiron 510m (Intel 855GM) with
1400x1050 screen, the resolution is 1200x1024.
The correct resolution can be manually selected in the Screen Resolution
set-up. This is sub-optimal because it means:
a) users have to find and change the setting to use the native resolution of
the screen;
b) the login screen is fuzzy and non-native; and
c) (I assume) each new user on the same machine would have to change the
setting.
Back when the best solution was the i810 driver with 855resolution, I
filed Bug #6271
Originally, 855resolution and its usurper 955resolution required
manually setting up configuration files. Paul Sladen and others wrote an
excellent patch that made 955resolution determine the correct native
resolution and to use that.
It would be great if that code (or an equivalent) could be imported into
the Intel driver so that the native resolution for monitors was used,
rather than having to manually choose them (although the ability to
choose the correct resolution is a huge step forward!)
