I've moved to Ubuntu 8.10, and the resolution is selected correctly.
However, there is a weird artifact when using the Monitor Resolution Settings utility.
I'm attaching three screenshots.
The first is without the DVI > VGA converter (ie direct DVI connection). Mirror is not available for selection.
The second is with the converter, with the mirror tick box selected; the dialogue box has this set when the utility is first run.
The third is with the converter, without the tick box selected.
