I have exactly the same problem with a normal 32 bit PC and the same E400 monitor mentioned above. Resolution is wrong, 640x480, 60 Hz. Some bugs marked as duplicates don't mention 64bits either.
Hardware.
- Sony Multiscan E400 19" Trinitron CRT monitor
- Pentium III coppermine 800MHz 32 bits
- Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP 32 MB
Software:
Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS Desktop Live CD
After boot, my resolution is 640x480, 60 Hz. Should be 1280x1024, 85 Hz (Monitor Menu: Help: Recommended resolution). Can be fixed on installed system by modifying xorg.conf.
