Bug Description
Geode driver do not display 1024x600 resolution in (K)UNR Karmic.
Actually, the bug also affects Jaunty, but doesnt affect Intrepid.
I used to use a custom xorg.conf in intrepid, but it doesnt work on Jaunty or Karmic. In Jaunty and karmic, I could only use 1024x768 whick makes the screen bigger than the real display and is impossible to open new programs, specially in the menus (they simply disapear in the bottom of the screen).
Further investigations on other distros made me think this is a regression from the xserver-
Actually, when I use the automatic configuration in Jaunty and Karmic (with no xorg.conf), the screen really seems to be 1024x768, but when I use the custom xorg.conf (the same I use in Intrepid), the screen seems different... like it was 800x768 (I know it's wierd, but it doesnt seem to be 1024x768 at all - everything is really ugly).
Hope it will work in Karmic in time.
Thanks in advance.

Hum....
As a "workaround", is it possible to use the 2.10.1-2 version geode driver in Ubuntu Karmic or Jaunty?
I tried to compile the driver from x.org, but it complains about xserver-xorg and xproto packages "not found".
I saw in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ xserver- xorg-video- geode/+ bug/234898 (i dont know how to use links) that q-funk made the geode-driver 2.11.4.1 avaliable for jaunty, intrepid and even for hardy, but can I (or you) made the 2.10.1-2 avaliable for Jaunty and Karmic? I know it's not the best solution, but it would be good for me as a workaround for my netbook until the bug is fixed upstream (jaunty is much faster in my netbook than intrepid, and Karmic is even more).
Thanks again.
