Bug Description

The live cd fails to recognize the correct resolution of a widescreen notebook. Unfortunately you have no possibility to adjust the screen resolution during the espresso install therefore after the espresso install the screen resolution is incorrect.

If you adjust it using System -> Desktop -> Screen Resolution, that adjustment should be preserved in the installed system. If the resolution you want isn't available, that's (IMHO) a gnome-system-tools or xorg problem.

Colin, thanks for your response. I have an additional question: is it possible to attribute a special resolution at the beginning (of the live cd)? This may solve this issue.
NB: my preferred resolution doesn't appear in the above mentioned screen resolution section.

Is it listed by "xrandr"? The capplet is a part of gnome-control-center but it's just using xrandr, reassigning to xorg

Did you run xresprobe from inside X or X running on another terminal?

Also please can you use the "Add Attachment" on the top left corner of Launchpad?

This is not a duplicate of bug 5801, because the reporter has an ati chipset.

Could you please follow Fabio's instructions, I will close this bug in a few weeks, if you can't reproduce it.
