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

[Demosthenes]

thanks Bryce..  I finally found the timings for the Viewsonic VA1912W
and manually created a 1440x900 resolution and enabled it and it works,
and enabled anti-aliasing, vibrance, etc with the Nvidia control panel -
but now another weird problem when some apps close (like a full screen
app just now) keyboard and mouse lose focus to the X screen as a whole -
i.e. - can't interact with the computer although mouse cursor can be
moved around (but has no effect)...  ideas?

I really hope the next version of Ubuntu will fix some of these bugs -
it's taken a decade of solid development to get Linux to a point where
it is *almost* usable for the average user, but not quite.  Most people
would not have a clue about manually setting timings and all these
commands.  But I am happy I've made some progress.  Still leaves Linux
in the 'need a lot of technical knowledge' category though, not quite
there yet until these things are easier to resolve or better documented.
Definately an improvement from when I last used Linux a few years ago
though (before Ubuntu existed).

Can't say I have heard Vista is all round easy to install and maintain
either though I have to admit.

Now if I can just resolve this weird 'lose focus' bug?

Would also like to know how to pipe full screen video to the TV as XP
does so flawlessly.
