Comment 13 for bug 12502

My last comment was reflecting my frustration with people doing but triage asking me for the Nth time if a bug has been fixed, when there is no good reason to think that it has been. I have a couple of these bugs which have been open since before Hoary, with no action except from people on triage asking if it is fixed.

Since you asked, Fabio, I have gone to the effort of putting a fresh install of Dapper Beta 2 on this machine.

This is perhaps an improvement over previous versions. One of the widescreen modes (1920x1080) has been detected somehow and put in the xorg.conf. Unfortunately this mode is not used, and cannot be selected.

xrandr lists the following modes available:
