Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Monitor- Daewoo HL710s LCD. Native resolution is 1280x1024
Using the Hardware Driver Utility to install nvidia drivers the best resolution I could achieve was 1024x768.
I attempted to edit xorg.conf, to import xorg.conf created by 8.04 live disc (which worked in the past), tried xrandr to change resolution to no avail.  I even tried to modify EDID.

These all resulted in resolutions varying from 640x480 to 1024x768.

I noted that when I tried to install drivers from the terminal that I
was able to find my native resolution listed in xorg.conf.

I am currently using nvidia driver 256.53 and getting native resolution
of 1280x1024.

After installing the driver from nvidia's website I received an "out of
frequency" message on my monitor which I was able to correct by editing
xorg.conf and lowering the horizontal and vertical frequencies to 30-70.
All seems to be good.

The only issue is that my monitor is still detected as a generic CRT.

With the version 96 driver my monitor was incorrectly identified as __ ___P
With versions 173 and current my monitor is detected as CRT but the BUS ID was showing as PCI:?:?:?

It appears that driver install from GUI is preventing proper detection
of the monitor, however install from the terminal allows for better
detection of the monitor.
