This entry is now out of date, re that 915resolution needs only to be installed (ie. apt-get install 915resolution) on the Inspiron 6400 with the Intel GMA 945 for the corrrect resolution to be obtained. :) Thanks for linking though! tomt: Nice, thanks for posting.

It is not (re-)run whilst coming out of suspend/hibernation. I've not played with either (suspend/hibernation) so I'm not sure what script file to place what you've placed in <code>bootmisc</code>. You need to look into the script files located under <code>/etc/hibernate</code> and <code>/etc/suspend</code>. Sorry I can't be of further assistance... ...btw... Whoa! You've got suspend/hibernate working? Under which Ubuntu? What did you do? :) Sean: bootmisc(.sh) is a script run during the boot process. It is not (re-)run whilst coming out of suspend/hibernation.

I recommend that you first save a backup copy. Now go to the end of the file (just after the last line) and enter the following (on a new line) /usr/sbin/915resolution 5a 1680 1050 32 (remember to change your settings if you used different ones, such as the "1680") Save the file (as hibernate.sh). Robert is your mother's brother!! Hibernate at will. Actually, I managed to answer my own question.

$ cd /etc/acpi
$ sudo -s

# gedit hibernate.sh

This opens hibernate.sh.

Unfortunately if I suspend or hibernate, the resolution does not reestablish itself. I have to manually run 915resolution again and then restart X. Is there any way to fix this so it works automatically? Firstly, thanks for that guide. Unfortunately if I suspend or hibernate, the resolution does not reestablish itself.

Значи водих се предимно от тази публикация. Общо взето всичко което трябва да направите е да свалите 915resolution (има го като пакет) и с параметър -l да си изберете двусимволния код на резолюция, която няма да ползвате. В последствие просто ще заместите тази резолюция с нова, така че да пасне на широкия екран. При мен това бе 1280×1024 (код 58) и аз я заместих с 1280×800 на 32 бита ето така.
