Forcing widescreen resolutions on an Intel 82810E integrated video graphics chipset adapter using Linux LIVE CDs

This video will illustrate how a Linux LIVE CD (a legally free to download and free to use operating system that requires no installation to the hard drive and rather operates directly from booting from the burnt CD-R disc in a CD-ROM) can force a wide screen aspect ratio video output (for example: on an LCD, LED, Plasma, or OLED high definition television (HDTV) or on a widescreen monitor) when using a video card graphics chipset adapter that inherently only supports a squared 4:3 display aspect ratio. In this case, I confirmed this on the following hardware:

Intel 82810E integrated video graphics chipset adapter

Intel Whitney i810e NorthBridge
Intel 82801AA ICH SouthBridge

HP Pavilion 8754C
System Number P2917A

Asus MEW-AM MotherBoard
Core version 4.06
BIOS revision 2.10 050801

Support ID: 15-2917-0000-0402-3434
HW BOM: 101 SW BOM
