Comment 68 for bug 3731

John, so yeah if you're seeing 'edidfail', then your bug is 94994. I recommend subscribing to that one. I have some ideas on that one and am hopeful we can knock it out next week; there's been some really good successes the past couple weeks at solving some long standing resolution bugs, and I think we're on a roll. It would kick ass if we could eliminate all these major resolution issues for Gutsy!

Demosthenes, try sudo apt-get install xresprobe; that should get ddcprobe installed for you.

The past day I've been going through and looking at hundreds of resolution bugs. It is astounding how many of them on close look turn out to just be bug 27667 in one form or another. I think that bug fix by itself is going to go a long way towards remedying Ubuntu's reputation for poor resolution detection support. I hadn't expected we'd be able to close so many of these resolution bugs until Hardy!
