Title:
  nvidia- hardware driver utility gives incorrect resolution

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Monitor- Daewoo HL710s LCD. Native resolution is 1280x1024
  Using the Hardware Driver Utility to install nvidia drivers the best resolution I could achieve was 1024x768.
  I attempted to edit xorg.conf, to import xorg.conf created by 8.04 live disc (which worked in the past), tried xrandr to change resolution to no avail.  I even tried to modify EDID.

  These all resulted in resolutions varying from 640x480 to 1024x768.

  I noted that when I tried to install drivers from the terminal that I
  was able to find my native resolution listed in xorg.conf.

  I am currently using nvidia driver 256.53 and getting native
  resolution of 1280x1024.

  After installing the driver from nvidia's website I received an "out
  of frequency" message on my monitor which I was able to correct by
  editing xorg.conf and lowering the horizontal and vertical frequencies
  to 30-70.  All seems to be good.

  The only issue is that my monitor is still detected as a generic CRT.

  With the version 96 driver my monitor was incorrectly identified as __ ___P
  With versions 173 and current my monitor is detected as CRT but the BUS ID was showing as PCI:?:?:?

  It appears that driver install from GUI is preventing proper detection
  of the monitor, however install from the terminal allows for better
  detection of the monitor.
