     1.4 +915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series Intel
     1.5 +graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as
     1.6 +915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the
     1.7 +display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server.
     1.8 +
     1.9 +915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of
    1.10 +permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be
    1.11 +run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the code
    1.14 +differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler. 915resolution
    1.15 +also allows the modification of bits per pixel.
