** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 on my laptop, Sony PCG-R505GL with
  Intel 830M(82830) video card and found the screen resolution became
  800*600 only.
  
  I've tried reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel(2.9) several times, doesn't work;
  I've tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, doesn't work either and there is even no new xorg.conf generated in /etc/X11 if i delete my old one.
  
  There is a X/KernelModeSetting, by creating /et
  /modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf( options i915 modeset=1) to enable kernel
  probing, but this has no effect at all.
  
  I finally had to give up and believe this is an intel video driver bug,
  can you please help?
  
  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  The only resolution i can have is 800*600 and below is the output from xrandr:
  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 600, maximum 2048 x 2048
  VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
  LVDS1 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
     800x600        85.1     72.2     75.0     60.3*    56.2  
     640x480        85.0     72.8     75.0     59.9  
     720x400        85.0  
     640x400        85.1  
     640x350        85.1  
  
  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  Below is my manually modified xorg.conf so that LVDS1 can not find an entry, but it doesn't help:
