Intel Graphics i945 (Ubuntu)

I reinstalled KUbuntu on my laptop today (a Clevo M520N). The video driver (K)Ubuntu installs does not support the native resolution(1280x800) of the lcd. This makes everything look blurry and hard to use. The solution is to install a different Intel driver.

1)Run:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

2) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change
Driver "i810"
to
Driver "intel"

3) save and restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)
