Seems that this was really a hardware limitation, so I'll go ahead and mark it fixed.
You can add resolutions manually using xrandr - see this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution#Problem:%20%20The%20LCD%27s%20maximum%20resolution%20is%20detected%20automatically,%20but%20lower%20resolutions%20are%20not%20available There's been some improvements to how this is handled in Jaunty, so if after testing that you still feel there are some problems needing to be investigated, feel free to reopen. Regarding the problem that Screen Resolution doesn't provide a way to add additional resolutions, feel free to file a wishlist bug against gnome-control-center if there isn't already a bug report for that. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- [Mobility M7 7500] Screen resolution issues in Hardy unless NoDDC specified https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160871 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
