Till, thanks for the URL.

Unfortunately, attachments are silently discarded before being posted to
the archive so only the direct subscriber would get the kernel.org
format information, versus wider audience. Not all of upstream would be
directly subscribed, some just check the mailing list when someone pings
them or whenever they feel like (I personally do the latter as I don't
like getting 1000s of e-mails in my inbox daily).

Also, it notes how:
This is a kernel regression from 3.8.0-7-generic to 3.8.0-19.

Some in upstream are not receptive to distro/downstream kernel
mentioning, will stop reading at that point, and move on.

Title:
  8086:0166 [ThinkPad Twist S230u 3347] REGRESSION: Mirroring display
  works only with 1024x768 (4:3) whereas my laptop has 1366x768 (16:9) &
  external monitor 1920x1080 (16:9)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist with an internal 1366x768 (16:9)
  display and I have connected and external 1920x1080 (16:9) monitor via
  HDMI. By default the display gets mirrored with only 1024x768 (4:3)
  because this is the highest common resolution of the two reported by
  xrandr. I can switch to a large desktop formed by the two screens with
  the System Settings (section "Display") with each screen using its
  native resolution.

  This is a kernel regression from 3.8.0-7-generic to 3.8.0-19.

  WORKAROUND: I can mirror with a higher resolution running the commands:
  xrandr --addmode HDMI1 1366x768
  xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1366x768
  xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1366x768 --same-as LVDS1

  This is rather awkward when using a projector.

  The problem also persists when connecting the external screen to the
  Mini DisplayPort (with adapter) instead of to the HDMI.

  I did not test with 12.10 by myself, but according to the comment from
  Gizmo Chicken below this worked correctly under 12.10, so this is a
  regression and not a feature request.

  The output of "xrandr --prop" with both screens connected in large-
  desktop-over-both-screens mode (no mirroring):

  Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3286 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
  LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
