Ubuntu 7.04 - Dell Latitude D620 (Intel Video) 1280 x 800 Resolution
So you have a brand-spanking new install of Ubuntu 7.04 on a Dell Latitude D620 the Intel on-board video chipset, but the resolution is stuck at 1024 x 768. You’ve searched all over the Internet, Ubuntu Forums, etc and can’t find the answer.
Well, I found the answer about three or four months ago, but when I needed the answer today, I couldn’t find it. I still couldn’t find the answer, but through some trial and error finally found the answer. Please type the commands below at a console session:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-intel
- sudo apt-get install 915resolution
Next, close all programs, and press CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + BACKSPACE. This will restart your Gnome Session. You should then be presented the log on prompt at the 1280 x 800 resolution.
