I notice that Synaptic lists a program called "915resolution," which is "resolution modification tool for Intel graphic chipset." Since I have AMD, can I get rid of this?
Try it and see! If stuff breaks just re-install it. When you mark it for removal preview the changes before applying them, other packages may get marked for removal too if they're flagged as depending on it.
Or you could just leave it there and not worry about it. It probably takes up an insignificant amount of diskspace.
Agreed - why micromanage.
Actually I'm surprised it was even installed on a modern system - IIRC that functionality was rolled into the i810 driver in X.
