Hi-
Just posting my own thread on the subject in hopes of catching an answer.

Problem:
Upgrade to Karmic from 9.04, with Intel 82945G/GZ video chip, produces low resolution settings, which cannot be changed under "Display".

Attempted solutions:
Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Attempting to add higher resolution manually.

No results, as I don't know much what I'm doing here.

Anyone can guide me to a solution?

I have the same problem with an Intel 965G video. Still searching for a solution.

Anyone find a solution? I'm a newbie and am so frustrated I'm just using 800x600 resolution. But I have a 1280x1024 screen and 82945G/GZ Integrated Intel VGA card. Where do I begin? Pls. help.
