Widescreen and the intel 8286g graphics chip – don’t bother

I have faced this problem several times now. I have read every post on the Internet and there are no fixes.

The Intel 85865g integrated graphics chip does not support wide screen resolutions. There is no update to the drivers, there is not working hack and there is no hope.

The only solution is to either buy a standard (square) monitor or a different graphics card. Any graphics card on the shelf will handle widescreen resolutions.

Before you post questions and comments on possible fixes, I repeat, I have tried everything and read everything. There is no fix for this problem.

Perhaps someone will find a testimonial of someone who found a fix or a workaround. I have tried it and it doesn’t work.
