intel i845 drivers

[missmoondog]

how do you get the onboard drivers for an intel i845 to work correctly? using dpkg-reconfigure etc.... sets the refresh rate at 85hz and the processor as an intel i810 with no other options. i've searched for a long time and played with every option i've come across, including that newer gui tool xorg-edit, but nothing will allow me to set it lower. here's my etc/x11 files:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Re: intel i845 drivers

Please take a look at the package "915resolution".

915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series Intel graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server.
