mobile i915 graphics at high resolutions

[Christopher J. Bottaro]

I just bought a laptop with "Integrated Intel® Media Accelerator 900
Graphics".  I read on a website:
http://www.geetduggal.com/linux_on_inspiron_6000.html
that the max resolution one can get is 1600x1200 with the current x.org
drivers.

Has anyone had any other experience?  The native resolution of my laptop is
1920 x 1200.  Running anything different than the native resolution results
in poor picture quality.  Also, I paid substantially more for the higher
resolution display, I would like to use it.

If there is no hope for this, I still have time to return my laptop and get
a similar one with an ATI PCI-E card, which I'm pretty sure will work to
maximum potential with the proprietary ATI drivers.  I don't want to do
this though because it uses a lot more power than the integrated Intel
chip.

Any advice or opinions are welcome, thank you.
