[Bug 588351] [NEW] Unable to set high resolution Ubuntu Lucid on MacBook Pro 5.3 DVI to VGA external projector

[Nestor Milyaev]

Public bug reported:

 I use Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid on 15" MacBookPro. When I connect external projector using the provided DVI->VGA connector, I am unable to set resolution any higher than 640x400. 
I boot with the external projector connected, then I use "Detect dispalys" buttons under "X Server Dispaly Configuration" in nvidia-settings. That correctly identifies the beamer. 
However when I later try to set the projector resolution the highest avaialble to me mode is 640x400, that is far from being sufficient (When I boot to MacOSX on the same laptop with that beamer, the resolution could be set to 1280x960 )
