I had an opportunity to discuss a few days ago with members of Dell's Ubuntu support team the known failure of their popular Dell 2405 FPW widescreen monitor to provide EDID information.

These Dell staff told me that they had provided Canonical with information necessary to allow automatic identification of this monitor and to file a bug if it did not work in current versions of Ubuntu. Hence this bug report based on my current installation of Kubuntu Hardy Alpha 4.

The resolutions, horizontal and vertical refresh rates in the automatically generated xorg.conf are all wrong:

    HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0 # should be 30 kHz to 81 kHz
    VertRefresh 50.0 - 150.0 # should be 56 Hz to 76 Hz

   ... <snip> ...

        Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" # should include 1920x1200
