Two options:

1. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf with, for example, "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" 
It was suggested elsewhere that you change to the i810 driver, this is 
specified in something like:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel"
	Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

You can just change the driver from whatever it was to what you want it to be. 
If you want to make changes to the resolution as well they are specified in 
the Modes value within the "Screen" section of the file. If you don't seem to 
be getting anywhere change the driver to "vesa" this is one that is compatible 
with just about every card so ought to get you a desktop up so that you can 
use the graphical tools you are used to to fix things properly. 

2. with the command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" which will take you 
through the configuration for your display.

Sorry if this has already been answered the thread is a bit all over the 
place.

Engineers think that equations approximate the real world.
