Don't worry about it.

Run

inxi -G

and post the output.

here is the output, somehow it's using mesa driver instead of Intel

From that output, I can see it is using intel's open source drivers, here Graphics driver: i915 and here OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Sandybridge also, your screenshot confirms that Q4OS does detect the card properly as well:

Did you install any other intel drivers?  Linux uses open source drivers for most GPUs.

No it's fresh install q4os, i switch to KDE and it's had the same result.
I don't get why only 1.8GB ram is used while i have 2 1GB ram card inserted
So why didn't it say Intel HD graphics like windows 7?

It's an onboard graphics card, so the system takes some amount of the RAM to the GPU.

Because it is not Windows 7? And it does say it is using the intel's graphic card

pftm@pftm-pc:~$ inxi -G

it's just that things work different in Linux as it doesn't have the proprietary drivers but open source's which works just fine. Are you having any issues with your graphics? Does everything display correctly? Does the desktop work? I assume it does since you even took a screenshot and apart from the fact that you're expecting something that won't happen, everything seems to be in order.

It's doesn't support wide screen resolution like windows 7. I look into display setting, only from 640x480 to 1600x900
There is no option for 1920x1080 or 1280x720. How do i fix that?

Again, because it is not Windows 7. Do your monitor and graphics card support that resolution?

Yes. My monitor and graphic support all widescreen up to 1280x800

Well, you should see that option since 1600x900 is more than 1280x800. This is on KDE or TDE?  You said you have both.

after 1280x1024 . The last option is 1600x900m, i checked it in both KDE and TDE, none of them have 1280x800

Ok, I see.  FWIW, both resolutions' mode 1280x1024 and 1600x900 are far better than 1280x800 when it comes to image quality, so if you don't mind me asking,  why do you want to use an inferior one? You might want to read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_ … %C3%97_800 and I quote

However, as of mid 2013, this standard is becoming increasingly rare, crowded out by the more standardised and thus more economical-to-produce 1366 × 768 panels, as its previously beneficial features become less important with improvements to hardware, gradual loss of general backwards software compatibility, and changes in interface layout. As of August 2013, the market availability of panels with 1280 × 800 native resolution had been generally relegated to data projectors or niche products such as convertible tablet PCs and LCD-based eBook readers.

In any case, open konsole and run this

Well, xrandr says there's no 1280x800 nor 1920x1080 modes available for your graphics card, and according to dell's specifications for your monitor, max. resolution is 1600x900. Do you have a dual-boot setup? Do you have windows in this machine too? If you do, you can check whether it is a driver thing. I dual-boot and both windows and Linux report the same resolutions, though the GPU is AMD not Intel so ... You can change the font size in the browser.

Ah no i don't use dual boot. Seem like i had to stick with this resolutions a while. Thanks for help
