Intel 945GM How the heck!!

[Ant2ne]

I have a 945GM graphics card. Only 945 is listed on my K->System Settings->Monitor & Display->Hardware Tab->Configure Button. The Intel 945 is not an Intel 945GM but they do belong to the same family. I'm thinking this is the problem with my display bugs. :P Primarily my Native Resolution. (I have a horribly small 800x600 view when I should be at 1280x800!!!

I downloaded the package here...http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...=2115&lang=eng
But the install instructions are FAR from helpfull. I can't figure out how to install it. Could someone download it and take a look and let me know what to do to figure this out? Thanks =)

Re: Intel 945GM How the heck!!

I'm not sure, but i think typing the three commands on

http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html

into konsole should do it.
Dont forget to type sudo before each command.

that should download the drivers and install them. (i think >.<)
then you can look for them in the drivers list on system settings, and apply them, then restart X. (ctrl+alt+ backspace)

hopefully, you will be prompted witha GUI login screen, and all is well.

If not, you will need to reconfigure Xserver.

you will be prompted with a command line if Xserver does not boot. In it, type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

if you get any other problems, I'm a linux newb but I'll do my best to help.

My Konsole

ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
bash: git-clone: command not found
ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
bash: git-clone: command not found
ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$ git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
bash: git-clone: command not found
ant2ne@ant2ne-laptop:~$

That didn't seem to work any.

And it maybe important to note: that particular link describes drivers for the 945, not the 945GM. I already have the 945, it is what I'm running right now, and it isn't the right one as my display is all screwy, and I can't get to my Native Resolution. I have downloaded a package (see my above post) that claims to include the 945GM drives, but I can't figure out how to install it.

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf just in case it'll help.
