Sorry, forgot to close the status, I have had no further problems using
natty and higher versions. In the meantime I replaced the motherboard
because of other problems, so I have no recourse to the exact same
configuration anymore. The new system is almost identical in specs,
though (only difference is the manufacturer, it's now an Intel board
instead of a Foxconn).

Title:
  monitor resolution not found with intel driver

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

  I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a foxconn motherboard with intel built-in graphics; I have an IIyama Prolite 2250MTS touchscreen attached, and the touch function work flawlessly (kudos for that!). I only have a problem with the monitor resolution: I can't get the native resolution of 1920x1080 to work. I think it's a problem with the intel driver:
  - when I startup gdm, X crashes with an error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

  [248685.933] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa

  The only way to start up is to make a basic xorg.conf with the lines:
  Section "Device"
          Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
          Driver          "vesa" # Change this to the driver you want
  EndSection

  Section "Monitor"
          Identifier      "Configured Monitor"
  EndSection

  Section "Screen"
          Identifier      "Default Screen"
          Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
          Device          "Configured Video Device"
  EndSection

  This was X starts up, with resolutions up to 1600x1200, but not with the native resolution of 1920x1080.
