Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I am using a Sony TX2 laptop which is shipped with Intel 915 onboard graphic. I have checked the new Intel driver with the second Ubuntu Gutsy Live CD (Tribe 3) which is shipped with the xserver-
But since i810-modesetting couldn't display my native laptop resolution I have to switch between the standard i810 driver (the Feisty intel driver couldn't display 1366x768 too) and modesetting everytime I want to use the external or the internal.

This seems to be fixed in current Gutsy. The problem with Clone mode is still there but this could be fixed through adding something like that to /etc/gdm/ Init/Default:
#disable lfp if external monitor is connected
if xrandr | grep -q "VGA connected"
then
xrandr --output LVDS --off

Compiz works but it is very slow on 1680x1050 screen. Maybe it is fault of the weak i915 chip.
