Bug Description
I remember when I was connecting my laptop to my TV (via VGA) using earlier Ubuntu releases, I was offered to run it using it's native resolution (1368 by 768 or something like that). Now under Oneiric, I'm only offered 800x600 and 1024x768, which is unsatisfying. Running xrandr --verbose reveals that the laptop doesn't seem to receive the EDID information from the TV.

The logs you've provided don't seem to have an attempt at connecting the TV in them? Could you please try connecting your TV, set a mode on it (either 1024x768 or 800x600, it doesn't matter) and then attach the output of “dmesg” and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?
That should help narrow down what's going wrong. Thanks.
