Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Recently I got a notebook, a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 1505 Pi. It has an Intel 945GM chipset and an Intel GMA 950 video chip.
Ubuntu works nicely with it, but there is one problem. The display resolution wasn't detected correctly, and installing the package 915resolution fixed this problem.
However, just like I said in bug #63551, you can't expect users to know that they have to install the package 915resolution to get Ubuntu set to the correct resolution. New users who don't have the expertise we hardcore Linux fans have do not know they have to install that, and they will be very annoyed that their laptop will not use the correct resolution.
Ubuntu should be user friendly, so maybe it would be a good idea to include the fixes in the package 915resolution in X.org by default?

That definitely sounds reasonable to me. I had this problem on my Dell Inspiron B130. There is probably a feature specification about this. Could you please check at https:/ /launchpad. net/distros/ ubuntu/ +specs
Thanks
