Yeah, I can't remember what I did exactly, but it involved changing a couple of values in a config file and everything worked fine under Intrepid. Thanks!

> I have as Sony VAIO VGN-FW245 laptop with the Intel GMA 4500 Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset Family and I had to use the SAFE (VESA) graphics mode to run Ubuntu 8.10 from CD and then when I installed 8.10, I was left with only two resolutions: 640x480 & 800x600. My display has a 16:9 ratio (1600x900 Widescreen resolution) and 800x600 is not an acceptable resolution. I would like a driver that lets me use 1600x900 or come close to that resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first distro and with the exception of this graphics problem, my migration to Ubuntu from Vista has been smooth and an overall
> pain-free experience. Most everything has "just worked" from jump.
