Bug Description
I use an Intel Centrino chipset on a Dell Inspiron 510m. My hardware ID is: ab4d55311e734d2
In order to get my 1400x1050 screen to work at its native resolution I had to install the separate package "855resolution" and hack at configuration files.
While this works okay, it is not something that a novice user could or would do and this would leave them thinking that 'Linux' was more fuzzy etc. than their previous OS.
It would be very nice if the functionality of 855resolution could be absorbed into the main drivers or, if this is not possible, to install and configure 855resolution in the setup/install of the system.

I can confirm this on my Dell Latitude D505. The Dapper Flight 4 Live cd reverts to 1280x1024 instead of 1400x1050.
