Title:
  [MacBookAir6,2] Max resolution of external monitor degrades when
  upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04.1

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  On a Macbook Air 2013 (6,2), I used to run Mint 16 XFCE (natively, not via virtualization), and had my external Samsung display happily running at its max resolution of 2560x1440 via a HDMI adapter.
  I confirmed the same resolution can be obtained when booting Xubuntu 13.10 from USB.

  I recently upgraded to Xubuntu 14.04.1 and now the external display will not run at anything higher than 1920x1200.
  xrandr does not show anything higher than that available. 
  Confirmed the same issue exists in Mint 17 XFCE when booting from USB.

  Note I am not sure if the kernel is in fact the issue, but such was suggested on this thread where I found what appears to be the same issue here: 
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218618
  ... though without a resolution, and I am not a system76 customer.

  xrandr output:
