Ubuntu – How to get the Intel 82945G/GZ video card to support more resolutions

12.04intel graphicsresolution

I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04,the screen resolution is stuck at 1920×1280.everything appears big,its not comfortable to look at. There is no such option about screen resolution.

I got into the displays setting. I've only 2 screen resolutions 1024×800,800×600.how can i add 1280×800 or other such resolutions?

lspci shows this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2772] (rev 02)

This is what I got after checking for drivers:
