Hello all!

I upgraded my dell GX 270 with Intel graphics chipset 82865G, from 9.04 to 9.10 and the max resolution I can achieve is 800 x 600. With windows I am able to achieve 1440 x 900. I have searched the web and forums and have not found a resolution (pardon the pun) to my problem. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

:eek:

You probably have to either reinstall 9.04 (there is no easy downgrade) or wait for 10.04 next year. Lots of folks are having video troubles with 9.10; the kernel driver and Xorg situation is in a state of flux, and won't settle down for several years yet. Personally, I like to try live CD's before doing upgrades; if the live CD gets the video, sound, ethernet, wireless etc. right the odds are excellent the upgraded system will too. One can't take video for granted these days, alas.
