Bug Description
Os: LinuxMint Felicia RC1, based on Ubuntu Intrepid stable.
Machine: Amd Duron 1.3Gh, 768 MB RAM, Ati Radeon 9200 PRO (9250) video card with the default opensource driver.
Display: BENQ V551
Problem: Apparently, the new xorg doesn't recognize my screen resolution right, I get only a maximum of 800x600, although my monitor supports up to 1024x768, and even higher (the new Mandriva 2009 detected a resolution higher than this, don't now the dimension, that I didn't even know my monitor can support). The problem didn't appeared in Elyssa, so neither in Hardy, but appears in the new Fedora 10. I suspect that is a bug in the new xorg that causes that, but it is strange that Mandriva 2009 uses xorg 7.4 too, and works like a charm.
If there is a way to solve this quickly, please send me instructions, and I will make all that is possible to fix this in Felicia final. I want desperately to solve it till the final version arrives, in two weeks time. Thx.
