release?

Title:
  Monitor resolution detection fails with Samsung PS42A450 and S3 Savage
  4.

  Invalid
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-savage” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I do have a Number Nine AGP DVI graphic card with S3 Savage 4 chip on
  it. When connected to a HP Ultra VGA 1280 CRT monitor with D-Sub VGA
  the top available screen resolution is just 1024x768 instead of
  1280x1024. That's quite fine, as 1024x768 75Hz is quite a good setting
  in this case.

  The problem comes when I connect a PS42A450 plasma screen. The native
  resolution is 1024x768.

  When the connection is made through HDMI/DVI input the Mythbuntu
  detects just 800x600 modes. No 1024x768 available. When connecting
  through D-Sub VGA all I have is up to 512x384. Other computer with
  other OS allows me to use the full 1024x768.
