Comment 2 for bug 127096

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/127096
I'm on a 32 bit system. I think my bug is a bit different, though I saw one of the comments seemingly being the same as mine: I do not need to enter refresh rates at all, only the proper resolution

And... darn, bug 3731 has so many comments and duplicates and possible points of failure, it is dizzying!

I am not certain if this bug will still be relevant with an xorg.confless X server (gutsy doesn't seem to have that yet it seems).

Anyway, I went back onto the LiveCD and ran all the tests I could, that means I am providing, attached to this comment:
- xorg.conf
- the xorg log file
- result of sudo xresprobe nv
- result of xrandr
- result of sudo get-edid
- result of lspci -v

Feel free to take a look at all those files for info

Then I did the final test: removing xorg.conf completely. X killed itself and when gdm went back up... it was the correct, native resolution! Logged into the desktop and it was 1280x1024 allright.

So it looks like xorg 7.3 autodetection is indeed the magical poney-riding solution to all of our problems. I do hope it will make it for the final release.
