Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

I've got a wide-screen monitor which supports 1680x1050.

However, when I start up the system, it displays a 1360x768 resolution on VGA, even though I have the following in my xorg.conf:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
        SubSection "Display"
                Modes "1680x1050"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

It works fine in DVI.

It works fine both with VGA and DVI when fglrx is on

It used to work (on both VGA and DVI, even without fglrx) in 9.04

Hi AlainKnaff,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 574946

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 574946 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug xorg

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

WTF? This is about 10.04, a.k.a. lucid. The only reason I mentioned 9.04 was to point out that in 9.04 it worked.
