Public bug reported:
Graphics card: MSI nVidia GeForce 8500GT
Display: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW (DFP @ [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Upon a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 Tribe 5, resolution detects fine
(1680x1050 and lower are available.) After installing and enabling
nvidia-glx-new through the restricted driver manager and restarting, the
proper resolution persists, and I verified it was configurable to that
resolution through displayconfig-gtk. However, after dist-upgrading (as
of Sep19 23:49 EST) and restarting, GDM+Xorg came up in an incorrect
resolution, and did not correct upon login. I fiddled with
displayconfig-gtk, and was not able to set 1680x1050, even after
explicitly setting "Generic LCD 1680x1050.)
I was successfully able to import my display's specifications from the
.inf driver included on the CD that came with it using displayconfig-
gtk's "add model," but it would still not allow me to set the resolution
to 1680x1050 via the drop down box. I resorted to modifying my xorg.conf
manually, where I had to remove all the entered modelines and add
"1680x1050" to the mode list in the screen section in order to return my
display to the appropriate resolution.
