[ubuntu] 845G integrated graphics only gives low resolution

Hello

I recently helped a friend install Ubuntu 13.04 onto a Toshiba NB305 netbook. It runs great and everything works, except that it only offers 2 resolutions: 800x600 (4:3) and 1067x600 (16:9). These resolutions are simply too low and makes using a lot of different software difficult.

I do know that it has an intel 82845G graphics chipset. I've read that it may be using a generic vesa drive or sorts. Is there a way I can tell? Is there a way to force it to use the intel driver?

Any other options would be appreciated.

Thanks
