I had a seemingly unsolveable problem with a Dell laptop screen not being recognised properly under the binary Nvidea driver that was fixed by some kind contributer uploading a EDID file to these support forums and then telling X to use that. Problem fixed. I suggest a database be created of troublesome displays and corresponding EDID files if this shows some promise to resolve some issues.

Subject: [Bug 3731] Re: Xorg resolution falling back to 640x480 and/or 800x600 when h/v freqs incorrect

Changing Gutsy screen resolutions does not work on my computer.
Gutsy incorrectly chooses 1920x1440 at 61Hz and although I see options
to change such, when I click "apply" nothing happens.
The screen resolution I need is 1152x864. I did hope that Ubuntu would
finally work this time around, but no.
I now have a coaster with Ubuntu Gutsy on it.
Oh well. Maybe this will be fixed in 2008.
