How can I get my Intel 82945G/GZ video card to support more resolutions?

  • 772

I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04,the screen resolution is stuck at 1920x1280.everything appears big,its not comfortable to look at. There is no such option about screen resolution.

I got into the displays setting. I've only 2 screen resolutions 1024x800,800x600.how can i add 1280x800 or other such resolutions?

lspci shows this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2772] (rev 02)

This is what I got after checking for drivers:
