Dell D630 suse display problem


I have Suse 10 sp1 running on Dell 630 laptop (Core Duo Processor with True Life 1440 X 900 res). My problem is that I am not able to get the required resolution (1440 x 900) and I am getting just 1024 X 768,

Does someone seen it before ? How can I fix it ?
The display adapter work just with VESA, and not with intel.

Any ideas how to change it to the intel driver ?

Thanks

What graphic chipset are you using? Try intel website for the driver and install it.

Hopefully something there helps to resolve your issue.
Looks like you should be using the intel X windows driver and 915resolution
