    Ubuntu gives me wuxga resolution on my w500 laptop (lenovo). I can't get it to work for fluxbox on my linuxfromscratch partition. Does anyone know where I can get the source so I can compile my own drivers for intel 4 mobile card , or the MOBILE firegl v5700 (it is misrecognized as a mobile HD3650 if you have a w500). Or has hast anyone managed to get wuxga working on their laptop in linux without having it working out of the box? I need some ideas about how I can get it to work.
