Xorg doesn't dectect 1600x1200 resolution for VGA-1

[Erik B. Andersen]

Xorg didn't detect that my screen could do 1600x1200. I have to set it each time I log in with "xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1600x1200" and then use the display configuration tool to use the larger resolution.

(Hopefully apport gives you the info you need to know. I don't know what else you need to know, but I'm willing to get more information if you need it).

Erik B. Andersen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you have already done this on a prior release, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
