Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your
description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Title:
  Monitor prefs: poor resolution options when EDID fails

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  If EDID/DDC fails, the resolution options are too restrictive; an
  exhaustive list of resolutions should be available.

  Use case: I run my third monitor through a DisplayPort-->DVI adapter,
  so no EDID information is returned.  I cannot find any way to set the
  correct resolution short of generating an xorg.conf.
