Hi,

my workaround is to use the mainstream kernel

2.6.36-020636rc8-generic

With this kernel the display resolutions are still not detected
automatically but they can be set by xrandr

xrandr --newmode "800x600"x60.3   40.00  800 840 968 1056  600 601 605 628
+hsync +vsync
xrandr --newmode "1024x768"x60.0   65.00  1024 1048 1184 1344  768 771 777
806 -hsync -vsync
xrandr --newmode "1280x720@60" 73.78 1280 1312 1592 1624 720 735 742 757
xrandr --newmode "1024x768_40.00"   40.25  1024 1056 1152 1280  768 771 775
789 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode "(null)1" 800x600x60.3
xrandr --addmode "(null)1" 1024x768x60.0
xrandr --addmode "(null)1" 1280x720@60
xrandr --addmode "(null)1" 1024x768_40.0

where the display has the stange name "(null)1"   (???!!) But at least it
works.

So far I was not able to use the standard kernel coming with the
distribution, the display resolutions are not detected and using xrandr just
freezes the monitor (hard reboot necessary).
I will be very happy if Natty solves the problem in a clean way.
Unfortunately I have not the time at the moment to test the beta version...
I will give feedback when I will be able to test the new distribution.

Regards and please keep up with the excellent work!,
