I recently upgraded to 9.10 and found my laptop can only display 800*600 while previously on Juanty, it could show 1024*768. The video chip is Intel i830(82830) on Sony PCG-R505GL. I'm suspecting it's a bug with the latest intel driver(xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.0), but not sure. Anything that can walkaround this?
I've tried dkpg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and it doesn't work(it doesn't even generate a new xorg.conf;
I've also manually edited xorg.conf with following entries, but it doesn't work either
