Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I just installed Karmic, but I'm getting this problem since Gutsy AFAIK.
Earlier I used to found a workaround for it, mostly by hand-editing the
xorg.conf, but I didn't succeed with that in Karmic so far.

The following resolutions: 1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480
The right resolution for this widescreen LCD would be 1440x900

As I could understand ddcprobe and get-edid both find the right
resolutions, but somehow xrandr sticks to the above four.

I also tried to play with xrandr for a while (mostly following these
instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution), but it
didn't work. After adding a 1440x900 as a new mode, I couldn't switch to
that mode with xrandr --output default --mode "1440x900", it returned
the error "xrandr: Configure crtc failed".

I also tried creating an xorg.conf by hand, and also copying the
xorg.conf from my previous Ubuntu install (a Jaunty), but that worked
neither. At some point, startx wouldn't start wtih that xorg.conf, so I
decided to give it up.

xorg package version: 1:7.4+3ubuntu7

If you need any other info I can provide, please ask, and I shall post
it soon.
