Ok so I think I was wrong on the last post... the relevant package seems to
be 'screen-resolution-extra' .... Don't take my word on this, I am just
trying to get to the bottom of this problem...

The Jaunty source:
$ apt-get source screen-resolution-extra

The Ubuntu trunk:
$ bzr get
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/screen-resolution-extra/main

Please correct me if I am wrong.
