Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
After upgrading to Karmic Koala (9.10), my iiyama ProLite E2407HDS monitor does not display properly at its native resolution of 1920x1080 (16:9). It is auto-detected correctly, but at native res, the screen is black besides the toolbars, and some apps display when run, but others do not - for instance Firefox is entirely blank. The display is only usable at the lower 16:9 resolution of 1280x720. (Background and apps all display properly in this lower res.)
When scrolling through all possible resolutions, the majority of the resolutions tested did not display properly. I also checked this page:

and was unable to solve the problem. In particular, adding kernel parameter modeset=0 did not do anything, so I cannot say whether Karmic is missing a quirk for this monitor or not.
The display worked fine at its native res (1920x1080) in Jaunty Jackalope.

Well, I'm running Karmic, and I have the same Iiyama monitor, and unfortunately the same problem. I have a Radeon HD5750, and the last catalyst beta driver, the 8.67.
