Missing xorg.conf, max resolution 800x600 in Karmic, Intel Video Card

[launchpad99]

I am on karmic :
Linux zubu910 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

I have a Intel Video Card:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10)

After a clean installation and updating repos, i noticed that the maximum resolution is 800x600 (and 60hz of refresh rate).
xorg.conf DOES NOT EXIST in /etc/X11 , even after "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"

in dmesg i see:
[ 17.164175] i2c-adapter i2c-0: unable to read EDID block.
[ 17.164178] i915 0000:00:02.0: VGA-1: no EDID data

lsmod | grep agp
intel_agp 27484 2 i915
agpgart 34988 2 drm,intel_agp

dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel|grep ^ii|awk {'print $2" "$3'}
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2

In jaunty i had no problems.

I did not find any solution, yet.

Regards and thanks

Assigning to xorg
Are you still affected by this bug?

[Joseph Iacobucci (gtg312i)]

I am no longer effected in Lucid (10.4) but was in Karmic (9.10).

I think upstream fixed it?

[kurt belgrave (trinikrono)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have marked it as fix released as you are no longer affected, please continue to submit any bugs you may find.

I confirm that in Lucid the problem is not present.
