Comment 2 for bug 16694

hi,

I was setting resolution through System / Preferences / Screen resultion. I
think I also tried setting it default by editing the

change those values in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

What i did to finally get it sort of working was to type

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and then to uncheck the highest resolution. Then when i restarted X it would
start at 1024x768 but now the top resolution is not available.

Regarding the ultrascanp99 / dell p990 thing, i have used red hat, mandrake, and
suse and they all recognised it as a Dell P990. If it recognises it properly,
that eliminates the chance that other config problems are caused by this.

For more information about what I tried, you can see here;
