It seems I have the same bug on my laptop with the Natty release.

I'm using a Dell Latitude D830 with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M. I installed the proprietary drivers.

I try to change the resolution (in pixel) with nvidia-settings.

With 1920*1200 (native resolution) I have :
xdpyinfo | grep dime && xdpyinfo | grep reso
  dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (331x210 millimeters)
  resolution: 147x145 dots per inch

with 1680*1050 I have :
xdpyinfo | grep dime && xdpyinfo | grep reso
  dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (290x183 millimeters)
  resolution: 147x146 dots per inch

In the second case, the quality of the image was worse than with the native resolution : can it be explained by the dpi difference 146 vs 145 ?
