I am seeing this problem on a fresh install of Hardy on the machine I am typing this message on. It is a PCG-SRX51P. The Windows intel driver utility suggests it is an i82815 graphics chip. 800*600 was the resolution it installed with. The Monitor Resolution tool shows an "unknown" monitor and only 600*480 or 800*600 resolutions as available. It seems to be using a Vesa2 standard/non intel specific driver. It would be good to understand the steps I need to follow to get it working. The driver link above is out of date. Can this be resolved by updating using Synaptic in any way?
