It is fixable - you need to edit your xorg.conf file. There will be
instructions somewhere - probably on the wiki.
The screen resolution I need is 1152x864. I did hope that Ubuntu would

I now have a coaster with Ubuntu Gutsy on it.
Oh well. Maybe this
of troublesome displays and corresponding EDID files if this
shows some promise to resolve some issues.

Changing Gutsy screen
@Tony, Your edid seems to be correct, and X should use it without

Video mode setting code for the OS splash screen is in the kernel, and
we hope it will be solved when (and if) the mode setting code is moved
to the kernel. Regardless of that, current kernel code could be
patched, but
I remember that after installing the crt was in the 1024 x 768 mode
(after a restart) I played with the desktop effects and switched those
off again. After some time the crt switched spontaneously to 800 x 600
and in the menu only this mode and 640 x 480 was available. The
xresprobe install solved
