Intel Desktop Scaling
Control the scaling of the LCD screen to stretch the screen to use full LCD. (LVDS1)
Setting scaling mode This can be useful for some full screen applications. xrandr --output LVDS1 --set PANEL_FITTING param where param can be * center: resolution will be kept exactly as defined, no scaling will be made, * full: scale the resolution so it uses the entire screen or * full_aspect: scale the resolution to the maximum possible but keep the aspect ratio. If it does not work, you can try xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" param where param is one of "Full", "Center" or "Full aspect".
alias intel.stretch='xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" Full' alias intel.center='xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" Center'

cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ nano 20-intel.conf
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "NoAccel" "True" EndSection
Framebuffer Fix Intel GMA and IBM T61
pacman -Sv v86d edit /etc/default/grub commenting the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
Take quite out too (sucks)
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Add v86d and i915

mkinitcpio -p linux
Reboot the system (unmount if rescue too)
Optimize Resolution
cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes nano /usr/lib/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf
# cp /usr/lib/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf
and then add an entry in the FILES section of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf pointing to your configuration file, like so:
FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf"
I kept the default
