My understanding is that the system thinks to know better than the user and disallows from removing native resolutions. However, it is clear that the system is not designed well enough to know what the correct native resolutions are. This is tremendously frustrating and ultimately it is combination of a bug in properly detecting the native resolutions (gone unfixed for the last five years) and a flawed design assuming detected resolutions would never need to be removed. I am at a loss with regard who to and where to file this bug. I would be tremendously grateful to anybody who could provide some directions.
With Ubuntu 15.04 and the newest 4.1.0-040100rc1 -generic kernel, the system now correctly identifies the available resolutions.
