Sam Brightman, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

On Maverick now. I have an LCD with both VGA and HDMI inputs. The HDMI works better on a different resolution, and goes through an A/V receiver. All the resolutions seem to be correctly detected in log files and (usually) the GUI. Perhaps they are now detected too well, and it is forced that they must match, whereas before supposedly unsupported resolution were allowed and the screen or TV was scaling them. I have tried this with as many settings as I could think of using Catalyst Control Center with fglrx. I have also tried the monitor preferences GUI with fglrx. I am currently running with the radeon driver, which has the same problem. Additionally, on boot it uses 640x480 only. The monitor preferences only allows this resolution. I used xrandr to set --preferred for both and - with the exception of some tiling of the wallpaper and weird maxisation issues - it seems to work at the correct resolutions now. They are also offered correctly in the monitor preferences GUI. If I re-enable mirroring in the GUI, the available resolutions shrink again to only 640x480: presumably this was the problem at boot - only one common resolution for radeon driver? Additionally the default monitor preferences view of the devices/monitors only shows one. When you click on it, the second output is drawn as another square with the manufacturer name in (clearly, it was detected properly). I sit quite far from my screen, so having the right resolution regardless of input used is important for legibility.
