PJSingh5000, this previous comment seems to be an other bug to me.
I suggest you open a new bug and that you copy the bug number here in a new comment.
Please note that xrandr have an ---output parameter. (man xrandr)

I am quite lost as the status of this bug.

upstream bug 10304 is resolved, which means that the product it is in have not been released (then it would be closed),
but also that it has not been verified by QA (don't know if I can really expect it to be verified by QA).

I am on hardy and when I do:
paul@Arcturus:~$ dpkg -l |grep xserver-xorg-core
ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20080105-1ubuntu1 Xorg X server - core server
paul@Arcturus:~$

I come to conclusion that maybe all the new quirks are now inside hardy. (since the version coming from git version control system rather than a released version).
So, my understanding is that for most people, Hardy should work fine, even if we rename xorg.conf in xorg.old having no xorg.conf file.
But I am really not sure of that!

The Hardy Heron Alpha series was recently released. Alpha2 and subsequent releases contain an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ . Please note that Alpha3 will be released today or tomorrow so you many want to wait. You should be able to then test this bug with the new kernel on the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .

Thanks!
