Intel GMA 4500M screen resolution problem
- by I Heart Ubuntu
I was previously running 10.10 on my Acer Aspire laptop. It has Intel GMA 4500M integrated graphics and worked just fine. Great display, sharp, crisp, etc.
I decided to do a fresh install of 11.10 Oneiric and now am having problems. Originally I was getting the dreaded blank screen where the brightness was turned almost completely off. Some searching pulled up several easy fixes (editing GRUB).
Right now I am still having one issue. The screen resolution is stuck at a max of 1024x768 giving me a distorted screen.
Is there any way to fix this issue? I've Googled, searched Ask Ubuntu and also spent time on the forums looking for a solution. Thus far, nothing. Apparently, was and still is a concern in Natty?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
