Can you apply the attached patch and show me the output? First thing it does 
is printing the resolutions that have been detected by displayconfig, second 
thing is choosing the highest resolution available in the case of this 
problem (it might still not work if no resolution has been found, but 
provides a sensible path in some cases).

The patch can be applied with 
cd /usr/share/apps/guidance
patch -p0 < /path/to/debug-resolution-index.diff

Thanks in advance,
