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 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.
