I have an old laptop with on board 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) which only has 640x480 available using the xf86-video-intel v2.99.911 driver with xorg-server 1.15.1. Â Additionally, I cannot use an external monitor attached to the onboard VGA out which I know is good since I can use it under another OS. Â Is this old chipset still supported?
The 845G has consistently been a thorn in developers and users' sides since new, but
it still works here in post-14.x versions from Fedora, Mandriva and openSUSE at
least. Here's a log from a freshly updated Rawhide system on a 1600x1200 CRT:

Note that it's not from a laptop, so only has one real video output. And, it is
configured via xorg.conf, not automagic.
