I need some testers for 915resolution-static... [I have them thanks]

I added another Intel chipset (945GME) to 915resolution-static and in the process I did some refactoring of the patch. The only machine I have to test on here is a GMA500 (Poulsbo -- POS) and that works fine. I'd like to have a few testers on the other chipsets to make sure that the package works correctly before I upload it to AUR. If you're willing to help, just let me know here and I'll e-mail you the PKGBUILD and supporting files.

I have a 945GM and I'm willing to help but curious why I'd need 915resolution.  For a long time now, the intel drivers auto-detect my screen resolution with no problem.  I haven't needed 915resolution in a couple years now.

That's a fantastic question. I honestly don't know why anyone that doesn't suffer from a Poulsbo chip (like me) needs this software. I was under the impression that pretty much everything else worked already.

Anyway, thanks for your offer but I don't think that I'll be needing it. The main thing that I'm trying to do is see if I made a system destroying mess out of my patch refactoring. There are currently a few people trying and I haven't trashed anyone's systems yet.

I owe an Acer Aspire One 751 (GMA 950), so I can test it on my machine. I've never tried such a thing... are instructions included in the AUR package?

oh, oh and oh!!
Have you actually got it working (1366x768) on a poulsbo chipset??
I have my AAO, but sadly have to suffice with a meagre 1024x768 :-(

Yeah, it's working great on my netbook at 1366x768. I haven't had any problems at all since I started to use it in conjunction with uvesafb.
