[Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect

I had a seemingly unsolveable problem with a Dell laptop screen not
being recognised properly under the binary Nvidea driver that was fixed
by some kind contributer uploading a EDID file to these support forums
and then telling X to use that. Problem fixed. I suggest a database be
created of troublesome displays and corresponding EDID files if this
shows some promise to resolve some issues.

Changing Gutsy screen resolutions does not work on my computer.

Gutsy incorrectly chooses 1920x1440 at 61Hz and although I see options
to change such, when I click "apply" nothing happens.

The screen resolution I need is 1152x864. I did hope that Ubuntu would
finally work this time around, but no.

I now have a coaster with Ubuntu Gutsy on it.

Oh well. Maybe this will be fixed in 2008.
