Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) reached end-of-life on April 18th, 2009. Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) reached end-of-life on October 19, 2008. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80940 Title: ati radeon driver does not autodetect displaysize on Latitude D600, therefore uses wrong resolution Status in X.Org X server: Invalid Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati Since Hoary up to Feisty Herd2, the xorg ati/radeon driver never detected the right physical dimension of the display.

Achim Bohnet, 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-xserver REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.
