| al@17992 | 1 915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900 series Intel |
| al@17992 | 2 graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as |
| al@17992 | 3 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the |
| al@17992 | 4 display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server. |

| al@17992 | 6 915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of |
| al@17992 | 7 permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be |
| al@17992 | 8 run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect. |
| al@17992 | 9 |
| al@17992 | 10 915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the code |
| al@17992 | 11 differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler. 915resolution |
| al@17992 | 12 also allows the modification of bits per pixel. |
