I'm looking to begin using Linux for my everyday OS. However, I'm running into some snags with my hardware.

My video card is an Intel 82845g. It goes up to 1280x1024 in 32 bit mode. In Linux it doesn't go above 1024x768, which is an obvious frustration as it limits my desktop space.

Intel's website has some drivers listed, but I am lost as far as which one to download and even more lost as far as what to do with the file once it is downloaded. The drivers can be found here: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=865&OSF ullName=Linux*&lang=eng&strOSs=39&submit=Go%21

The readme provided is confusing to say the least, and I am new to Linux and the many, many acronyms and terms.

I am using Ubuntu.

Any help would be appreciated muchly.
