Comment 71 for bug 3731

thanks Bryce.. I finally found the timings for the Viewsonic VA1912W and manually created a 1440x900 resolution and enabled it and it works, and enabled anti-aliasing, vibrance, etc with the Nvidia control panel - but now another weird problem when some apps close (like a full screen app just now) keyboard and mouse lose focus to the X screen as a whole - i.e. - can't interact with the computer although mouse cursor can be moved around (but has no effect)... ideas?

I really hope the next version of Ubuntu will fix some of these bugs - it's taken a decade of solid development to get Linux to a point where it is *almost* usable for the average user, but not quite. Most people would not have a clue about manually setting timings and all these commands. But I am happy I've made some progress. Still leaves Linux in the 'need a lot of technical knowledge' category though, not quite there yet until these things are easier to resolve or better documented. Definately an improvement from when I last used Linux a few years ago though (before Ubuntu existed).

Can't say I have heard Vista is all round easy to install and maintain either though I have to admit.

Now if I can just resolve this weird 'lose focus' bug?

Would also like to know how to pipe full screen video to the TV as XP does so flawlessly.
