(Get the code!)
Binary package hint: xorg
On previous versions of Ubuntu, dpkg-reconfigure allowed me to specify monitor resolution etc. With hardy, this feature appears to have been removed. I believe that will encourage better detection code, and more usable front ends for less technical users. Nevertheless, I am right now left with 800x600 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, which has a native resolution of 1024x768 with only option to manually edit xorg.conf.
Steps to show bug:
Install a fresh copy of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite pro laptop.
Observe the GUI gives maximum resolution of 800x600.
Expected:
Resolution should include 1024x768 native screen resolution. This resolution has shown to work where screen resolution set manually.
