Question #78223 on xorg in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/78223

    Status: Open => Answered

Larry Jordan proposed the following answer:
      Ok... check the Xorg log file(s) at /var/log/Xorg*.log and see if anything unusual is in that.  (It's a text file, if you're not familiar with it, so you can read it with any text editor or just use the "more /var/log/Xorg*.log" command at a command prompt if that's your preference).
     In particular, check for any lines starting with ww (warning lines) and check the modeline entries to make sure they show the resolutions you are looking for with each monitor.
     I'm wondering if you might need updated (Linux) drivers for anything, in particular your video card or chip, and if updating that (or those) might give you what you want.
