after trying the XF86config and mydsl packages, i came across these site's which helped:


< http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html >

< http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel845g/linux.htm >

basically all i had to do was change in my bios settings to the amount of shared memory allocated to the video chip on boot-up... from 1Mb to 8Mb

now dont need any mydsl packages, the standard dsl iso works great now i get all the res choices in Xvesa panel !
