Error in xorg.conf 1440x900 resolution

[Hallvard Indgjerd]

Upon installation the xorg.conf shows 1440X1440 instead of 1440X900, and a "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" doesn't fix it. Easy to solve, of course, but it means you can't choose the resolution without editing the xorg.conf file.

My xorg.conf:

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7900 GT/GTO]"
 Monitor "W19-1"
 DefaultDepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
  Depth 1
  Modes "1440x1440" "1280x1024" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
 EndSubSection
 SubSection "Display"

etc...

I found the bug on another computer as well, with a different 19"-wide-display (VideoSeven) and ATI X300. This time I installed from a ShipIt-CD.
