Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have a laptop with a native resolution of 1440x900. If I connect my HP
w2207h monitor to my laptop via the VGA port and open display
properties, then I can mirror at 1440x900 just fine. If I try to have
the HP monitor use its native resolution of 1680x1050, then the monitor
goes blank (whether or not I turn off the laptop screen). If I try to
login with the monitor at 1680x1050 and the LCD off, gdm displays ok,
but the monitor flashes a bunch of purple colors and never displays
anything (but the LCD does turn off).

This was working for a while in natty, but no more.
