One thing you need to do is make sure your monitor is turned on and attached when the machine boots. If not, it will not be detected correctly and will give you incorrect resolutions. But i second what the other guys say - if you can't get an Intel card working, you're having a bad day. They have the BEST Linux driver support. Paul P.S. Back in the bad old days when my motherboard was too new (and the drivers weren't recent enough), i whacked in a $38 PCIe ATI X300 and it worked perfectly on the free drivers.
