Acer 5520 series, model ICW50 laptop computer
nVidia C67 GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M (rev a2)
Build-in LCD panel native resolution 1280x800
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Kernel: 2.6.32-22-generic #33 amd_64

Description:
Lucid fails to detect correct display resolution 1280x800 and falls back to 1034x768 which is dizzy / ugly on that panel, fonts turn difficult to read. Trying manually to raise resolution to 1280x800 using "xrandr":

xrandr --newmode "1280x800" 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode default 1280x800

xrandr -s 1280x800

Failed to change the screen configuration!
