By the way here are some interresting tests some german people has done two years back :
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/desktop-wird-nur-teil-vom-bildschirm-angezeigt/

I'll try to experiment them. It may bring some new workaround to the
issue.

Title:
  Resolution max at 640x440

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It is a follow up of bug 874694 (see it for history).

  On the i845 and derivated chipset enabled laptop the max resolution on
  the LVDS panel will be stuck to 640x480 (and not higher resolution as
  supported by both the chipset and the LVDS panel)

  In latest Ubuntu the "workaround" i915.modeset=0 that previously
  provide some alternative is no more working. This bug is clearly
  blocking usage on older machine using those chipset.

  Only known workaround left is to use an external monitor on the VGA
  port at the same time to get higher resolution on both output (mirror
  mode).

  There maybe some issue at initialization time around computation for
  max resolution due to the fact it has : LVDS, VGA, S-VIDEO ...
