Bug Description
I've installed Kubuntu 6.06 LTS on my Acer Aspire 1524 which carries a NVidia GeForce FX Go 5700 and the screen resolution is 1280x800.
After the install process, the default screen resolution is set to 1024x768 and there isn't an option available in KDE's display system settings to change it to 1280x800, which in effect forces the computer to be stuck with an unnatural screen resolution.
[Many people are reporting this bug - Ubuntu is only providing the resolutions 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480, when the user's system ought to support other resolutions beyond these.]

After some tweaking done on the xorg.conf file I've managed to configure the natural 1280x800 screen resolution. To achieve that I did the following changes:
Added the following to the "device" section:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "0"
Commented out the following from the "Monitor" section:
HorizSync <any value>
VertRefresh <anyvalue>
After reading NVidia's forum I've also commented out the following from the "modules" section:
Load "dri"
So now I have a nice and easy on the eyes 1280x800 resolution. Now the only problem is that I am stuck with the huge 101dpi fonts. Is it possible to change them to something a bit more sensible, i.e., smaller?
