[Bug 445531] [NEW] intel gma 950 still not working in 9.04 or 9.10

[Dave Scarbrough]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Bug showed up in 9.04, never resolved.  Using 9.10 (beta) right now and
bug is still there, identical results.  Using 64 bit version, with
standard recognized xserver-xorg-video-intel driver for onboard intel
945g graphics driving a Viewsonic G810 21" VGA monitor.  On other OSs,
ideal resolution is 1280x960 at 85hz.  This option is not offered in
System>Prefs>Display.  Closest to this are 1280x1024 at 75 (5:4, scrunched)
and 1152x864 at 75 (whole screen is off to right side).  Have tried
Synaptic PM to find updated intel 950 driver, have tried messing with
xorg.conf files, all with no results or change.  In fact, the only
refresh rates offered are 60 or 75hz, and they are locked to various
resolutions, but none are ideal or even usable.  Again, earlier
drivers/kernels appeared to work - ex., 8.04 with a little tweaking gave
great results with intel gma 950.  Starting with 9.04, all heck broke
loose.

Synaptic PM reports driver as xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.1-1ubuntu2
