**915resolution
**  	
** 	915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900
** 	series	Intel graphics chipsets. This includes the 845G, 855G, and
** 	865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This
** 	modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics
** 	resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server.
** 	915resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is
** 	no risk of permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that
** 	915resolution must be run every time the computer boots inorder for
** 	it's changes to take effect.
**  	
** 	915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the i
** 	code differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler.i
** 	915resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel.
