Jeff Lane, 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 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

However, with 11.10, there are no proprietary drivers available according to Jockey: ubuntu@201102-7315:~$ jockey-text -l ubuntu@201102-7315:~$ And so the only other option is nouveau, which looks horrible, and only provides 1024x768 and 800x600 which looks bad on this display. As 11.04 apparently had a working nVidia driver, this is a regression of sorts (even though it's an issue with a proprietary driver).
