Man been a while since I’m blogged. Don’t worry I’ll blog more often during Akademy 2006, which I will leave in 12 days !

In preparing for Akademy I bought a new laptop for my school, hacking and travel needs. It is a HP Pavilion dv5230 (Specs),
a nice 15″ Widescreen Intel Centrino Core Duo Laptop with a Intel GMA950. Everything worked out of the box except getting the correct
resolution.

If you the have the same laptop, you sure have problems setting the correct resolution. I found a solution 3 weeks after I bought the laptop ! You just need the 915resolution software. Here the guide to install it on K/Ubuntu Dapper:


sudo apt-get install 915resolution


Open the following file: /etc/default/915resolution and add these following to this file:


MODE=AUTO
XRESO=1280
YRESO=800
BIT=24


Restart and voilà, you get the correct display on reboot

In other news I’m not motivated enough to code on these days, so my commit statistics are really really low Hope that I will get motivation soon. Also I bought a nice professional 61-key synthesizer that I’ll talk about in another blog post.
