[Bug 94994] Re: edidfail for widescreen lcd (viewsonic vg2030wm) causes incorrect resolution and refresh rates

[H_Plow]

Same here

Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 206BW
Ubuntu Gutsy (AMD64)
Video Card: ATI RADEON X850XT 256MB (R480)
Connection in use: DVI - DVI
Driver in use: "vesa"--> note: I've tried latest fglrx from ATI (8.443.1) installing with Envy....but NOWAY: whenever I write "fglrx" as a driver in xorg.conf...everything get messed up...monitor signal disconnected and unrecoverable system hanging).

After very long time loss with fglrx I forsake it and had a lot to work
to let "vesa" native driver to work at an higher (and proper aspect)
resolution than 1024x768.....

My last "best" result is having my video-card working on DVI connector
at 1400x1050 at 60Hz....

Of course in my xorg.conf it's correctly written "1680x1050 at 60"
(suggested freq and refresh for my LCD display...) and "1400x1050 at 60" IS
NEITHER WRITTEN IN xorg.conf NOR RESULTING BY "sudo ddcprobe" !!!!!!!!!

Something looks wrong with DDC and EDID.....

Any suggestion?
Cheers

P.S. Maybe a DVI/VGA adapter can "workaround" this problem, but I can't
use it because the VGA connector of my display has actually plugged
another PC....
