Which version of 915resolution are you using?

I installed the one from the "universe" but it failed to recognize my
board.

After going through dpkg-reconfigure, I restarted X and went to look at
KDE GUI hardware interface, it still showed VESA in use and the wrong
resolution.

Later I went to look at xorg log file, and there it was very clear that
X was running with the right driver and in the right resolution. So from
what I could tell I was running with i801 and 1280x800 but the KDE
hardware controls were simply not updated.

Please check your X logs to see if you are not already using the right
stuff and its only Gnome that is not getting it right. I filled this bug
report, it would be nice if you could add info of confirmation or denial
to it:
