Update tool failed to upgrade 915resolution

[Nigel Cundy]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Upgrading from gutsy to hardy alpha 4 on a Dell inspiron; the intel video card with i810 driver needs the package 915resolution to display the correct 1200x800 resolution. I had the package installed correctly on gutsy (although it was not part of the default system which came with Dell); it did not install during my upgrade, and I had to reinstall the package. Not serious, but still an inconvenience.

I am having the same problem. 915resolution was effectively uninstalled by the Hardy upgrade from Gutsy.

To clarify, I am using a Dell Inspiron 1300, and had the problem with upgrading to Hardy alpha 5. I marked this bug confirmed.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
