For anyone reading this issue, the cause has ultimately been determined to be the fact that a Belkin Omniview KVM switch interferes with the collection of EDID data for the monitor. There is no known solution to the EDID detection issue, which is a hardware problem outside of the control of any program.
As of version 8.10, the xorg.conf changes described above no longer work to allow the screen resolution to be set as desired. You can force a particular resolution by moving it to the start of the list of valid resolutions in xorg.conf, but you cannot change it during a particular session. -- Incomplete monitor specification data for Sony CPD-E200 due to KVM switch interfering with EDID data collection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
