Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I just got a Dell U3011 monitor, which has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600, but I can only get the nVidia drivers to drive it at 1600x1200.

The built-in drivers (not the proprietary nVidia ones) don't even seem to recognize the monitor as a U3100.
Let me know if you have any questions.

you need a dual-link capable cable to use the native resolution.
