[Bug 44864] 1680x1050 resolution not displayed

[manuel fernandez]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kcontrol

problem: 1680 x 1050 resolution cannot be obtained.

system: kubuntu dapper drake installed on
dell laptop inspiron 6400 with WXVGA 1680 x 1050 resolution.
computer has intel 945 graphics card.

trials to solve the problem:

system settings detects vesa driver + plug and play monitor
request to install intel 945 (810i driver) + dell 1680x1050 laptop display panel (16/10) allows maximum resolution of 1280x1024.

If monitor option "widescreen" is set, the 1680x1050 resolution appears
in menu but upon xrestart the resolution is very low.

The 915resolution package does not solve the problem. The options list
does not have 1680x1024 resolution (the closest match is 1600x1200). But
even in this case, the resolution is not obtained.

Running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg does not solve the
problem either.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
