Intel GMA950 Netbooks Get Native 1182 x 854 Support

* My Samsung N140 at 1182 x 854 resolution browsing LifeHacker

You know how netbooks are mostly of the 1024 x 600 resolution kind. Some people are fine with that resolution, some find it a little cramped. Some manufacturers do include their own software to change the screen resolution but not all do this and last time I tried it on an ASUS Eee PC, it slowed performance down.

Well, now there’s native support for 1024 x 768 and 1182 x 865 resolutions! Of course that means you’ll end up with a blurry mess and it’s not that pleasant to view really, even if you enlarge fonts (I tried it make it look nice on my Samsung N140), however I don’t notice any performance slow down and the provided Windows 7 driver should work on any Windows 7 netbook of the GMA 950 variety.

Truthfully this’ll only be handy for a small proportion of netbook users. I personally need the resolution bump, just to get one damn app running.
