Ubuntu Karmic and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller

I am using Ubuntu for almost two years both at home and office. My office setup quit complex in this regard as we have nVidia GeForce cards with dual LCD monitors on our disposal. And at home, I am using my HP system which has Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller. I had some issues regarding resolutions but I almost totally forgot about them and upgrades after upgrades, all worked fine.

But things changed after the Ubuntu Karmic, I was stuck to only 2 resolutions: 640×480 and 800×600 both at 60Hz while my chipset and my monitor are both far more capable then this. In this post, I would try to list how I solved this problem for myself. I am no Linux geek and have a pure Windows background so you know who to blame if something seems odd.

The Questions I have been wondering about

From time to time, I’ve been wondering about many questions in different phases of life. Here are some:

• What is power? How it comes? Why they bow to someone and not to the other?
• How human race continued to grow in different domains even being unaware of the other areas being developed and dug by fellow human? Where do they overlap?
• Introverts are also inventors? How?
• How large business empires work? What keeps them tied and focus on the goal? What the top level is getting?

I’d keep it updating as I come across more.

The Anne Frank

I just got a book on my cell phone and kept reading as long as I could: The Diary of a young girl. Yet not in the middle even, I got curious to know if the diary is for real? Reasons for the doubt were the style of writing and the observation that girls makes about herself and the others not seem to be from a 13 years old girl.

I’ll update about it as I got along.
