    The latest video driver version for the 900 series chipsets is 6.14.10.4764. Download it from Intel, try to install and most likely you'll get a warning that it has not been validated for this computer.

    I'm doing a clean install on a B130 /1300 and it irritates me when OEMs try to block use of the latest drivers. The version Dell has posted for the B130 / 1300 is 6.14.10.4609.

    The solution? Get 6.14.10.4764 for the 945 chipset and it'll install and work PERFECTLY FINE! (At least on the Inspiron B130 / 1300.)

    It actually contains drivers for ALL of the 900 series chipsets with integrated video. If Dell has an older version as the latest for your laptop (or desktop with 900 series chipset) and you're having issues with the video, try this driver.

    If it won't install or crashes your computer or does anything non-optimal, don't blame me. Complain to DELL about how they do the video drivers.
