Hi Martin :)
Each monitor typically carries EDID data that describes the monitors
dimensions, resolution capabilities etc. When you connect a monitor to a
computer the X server will typically query the monitor for this
information. However, some monitors actually return the wrong data and
in that case it's necessary to hardcode a quirk for that model/make in
the X server. I don't know if you actually have an EDID issue though.
FWIW, I have a samsung syncmaster 2253bw (not exactly the same but
close) and it works perfectly with ubuntu straight out of the box when
used as the primary monitor for my desktop box at least.
Anyway, as a first step can you please run this command to provide more
information about your hw/sw config:
apport-collect 367824
