The first post isn't entirely clear whether it's the card that is in bad video mode or the LCD displaying incorrectly. In the former case, it is not a showstopper (although still an issue) since you can update xorg.conf by hand; in the latter, it is the manufacturer issue.
The reason I'm asking is that I've also bought Acer AL1916W and it has buggy firmware (says acer support) - even if the video card correctly switches to 1440x900, the LCD switches to non-native 1152x900 and interpolates 1440x900 (VGA) → 1152x900 (internal display) → 1440x900 (physical display). -- Wide screen not correctly detected (16/10) https://launchpad.net/bugs/67369 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
