Some resolutions missing from Gnome Control Center

[twipley]

Using a 1680x1050 monitor (in this case, an "Acer AL2216W"), under "System Settings > Displays," the (double-scaling) 840x525 resolution is unavailable, even though it is listed in xrandr (see posted log).

That seems to be a regression from natty, as Gnome Control Center previously would be listing that resolution.

A workaround to this issue of course is running "xrandr -s 840x525" through the terminal, even though that way it takes some time for the system to switch to that resolution (for it to be noted, there was no such waiting time in natty).

I hope all this information to be helpful to you developers in investigating the current issue. If any more information would be needed, do not hesitate to prompt for it; I would then acquiesce in as much as the situation would require.

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so does not expect a backport
