Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Using the Nouveau driver for the "nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2)" on my Sony Vaio VPCF12M1E, the detected screen resolution (i.e. without xorg.conf) is wrong.
It should be 1920x1080, but when I select this resolution in the GNOME screens configuration, right and down parts of the display are not on the screen. I guess there is something with the display ratio which is not right.
In GDM, before any display settings has been set, the virtual resolution looks much higher than it should.

I tried the X-Update PPA because I thought it could solve my problem,
but it is present as well on "vanilla" 10.04.

Note that:
- using the proprietary nVidia driver is even worst (maximal available resolution detected is extremely low, and nothing fits in the screen).
- the touchpad does not work either out of the box, you have to add i8042.pnp to the kernel boot line to get it to work.
- I'm an experienced UNIX/Linux user (including on the desktop and playing with XFree86/Xorg). I just would like to make it the best way, and get it fixed in Ubuntu at the same time.

Do you have any idea of what I should try to make it work?

I would certainly not recommend those laptops to run Ubuntu 10.04 for
now.
