Intel Integrated Graphics - Resolution Issue

Hi,

I'm currently running BT5 R2 x64 Gnome on my Lenovo G570.

The resolution and screen quality isn't great so I thought I'd update the graphics drivers.

I've followed a few guides etc. and nothing has enabled me to change the resolution.

Here is the results of lspci | grep VGA

Code:

---

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

---

I've also added the below to my Grub file.

Code:

---

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.modeset=1"

---

I've ran apt-get auto-remove intel-video..... etc. etc. and re-added.

Any help would be appreciated. I'd say I'm competent with Linux but I'm no pro :)

Thanks in advanced.

I've also noticed that on boot if I switch back to tty1 there is an error after I run startx that says

Code:

---

(EE) Failed to load module "intel" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

Thanks,

I have BT5 R2 x64 installed on HDD. Computer Lenovo C320. How to install video driver ? It's integrated Radeon HD video.

Many thanks.

Hi~
I used to have the exact same problem a while back (unable to set a higher screen resolution to 1366x768) and dual graphics the intel and radeon.
I followed this guide:

And it worked perfectly (for setting the screen resolution) at the moment, ATI doesn't have a way for dual graphics as far as I know.
I hope that helps ^^
