I'm experiencing the same issue with an Intel 845G. I'm using a "Natty"-based system with Linux 3.5.1.
I was previously using Linux 3.4.7 without issues. To get HD videos to play smoothly, all I had to do was add Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" to the Device section of my xorg.conf file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029865 Title: Intel HD graphics: Starts always with 1024x768 resolution on a 1920x1080 monitor (HDMI and DisplayPort) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1029865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
