incorrect monitor resolution on clean lucid install - nvidia/Hyundai B70A

[bwashed]

Binary package hint: xorg

When ubuntu booted up after install it was only possible to select resolutions up to 1024x768 even though the monitor is natively 1280x1024. Using the restricted drivers did not help.

Editing the xorg.conf is a workaround. The attached information is gathered after I copied xorg.conf from a previous ubuntu installation, and the resolution is here correctly set to 1280x1024. I can revert back to the original (bad) lucid configuration file and run the ubuntu-bug tool again if that information is needed.

Let me know if I should provide more information.
