Then you should have bought a graphics card with Free drivers.

Yes, that's a lovely sentiment.  At the time I purchased my laptop
neither nvidia, ati or intel support was great in Linux.  And intel
(while a little better) wasn't an option to drive a 1920x1200 display
(and as far as I can see still isn't).  So I had little choice.

My nearly 2-year-old "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express
Integrated Graphics Controller rev 3" on my Dell Inspiron E1405 laptop
handles my 1920x1200 display just fine.  I don't run games so I don't
know about games performance, but it handles videos just fine.
"Desktop effects" also works fine, as does dual-head with a virtual 3360x1200 screen - but it can't handle both at once!
