I hope that's a typo.

Do you have 915resolution installed? The Intel video BIOS often needs
patching to cope with widescreen modes, and 915resolution allows you to do
this.

This what it supports without patch (both i810 and 1825 use i810
driver, as far as I know) :

http://support.intel.com/support/gra.../CS-009145.htm

1440x900 is not supported without patch.

Typo... ment "both i810 and i815 use i810 driver, as far as I know".

I have a 915resolution installed, but i can't see 1440x900 in option
after run 915resolution -l

No, you won't see it there. That's why you're using 915resolution.


This is what you see:

Pick a resolution off the list that you're not using. Let's say you're
not going to use 1680x1050. You pick the mode and put in the resolution
you want in that mode. so the command would be:

915resolution 38 1440 900

When you run 915resolution -l again you'll see it there.
