Thanks for the input Bryce.

First, I'm not currently able to get to my computer, but I will be able
to next week to try those commands out.

Second, I think you could be right about the EDID, that might be the
problem, Windows does not seem to have an issue with it though.

Third, you talk about trying out the new nouveau, this does not fix the
issue! I have try this monitor with radeon, ati, intel and nv drivers,
the only drivers which stops the monitor going out of range is the
official binary nvidia drivers. In the past, the way I have installed
Ubuntu is to unplug the monitor before boot up, and plug it back in
after. It selects a resolution which the monitor can use, which is
800x600. WHY CANT UBUNTU DO THIS WITH THE MONITOR PLUGGED IN??? <<<
Please answer!

The new nouveau drivers do not allow me to unplug the monitor and plug
it back in, since it crashes Xorg, thats why I discovered this bug,
WHICH STILL NEEDS PATCHING! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
