graphics - VGA not detected on a Lenovo T420

I have problem with a VGA driver that is not detected on my Lenovo T420 with Ubuntu. 10.04


Output of lshw:


       *-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: Intel Corporation
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 2
bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0

resources: memory:f0000000-f03fffff memory:e0000000-efffffff(prefetchable) ioport:5000(size=64)

This is output from lspci -nn:



00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0116] (rev 09)



When I install version 11 for testing it can detect the drivers:



00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)

On Ubuntu 10.04, I tried to install the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver but I'm still unable to get the right resolution on my display.


I've already tried the suggestion on Display not detected on a Thinkpad T420, but still no luck.
