acer x191w with intel GMA3000

With my new computer I was having a hard time to get my monitor, acer x191w, working at anything bigger than 1024x768. I think I solved it by running

sudo 915resolution 5a 1440 900

then restarting x (startx). Still the intel driver isn't working but at least I'm getting a good resolution. It's hard to be able to tell if this is exactly what I did to get it working, b/c I was mucking around and fixing other stuff that I did that prevented X from starting. Also it seems that rebooting will cause the changes made by 915resolution to disappear, so we'll see if it will still work when I reboot.
