Public bug reported:
Problem
Would like to have perfect 1440 x 900 resolution.
Setting 1440 x 900 @60 resolution even after dpkg-reconfigure, screen
leaves a 1-2" vertical blank band on left side. Sometimes it makes the
desktop black (wallpaper area, not taskbars). Only occasionaly I could
get perfect resolution, but otherwise I have to manage with 1280 x 768.
When I get perfect 1440 x 900 and then restart after sometime, it
reverts back to the same problem of leaving 1"-2" vertical blank band on
left side of screen. Adjustment through monitor's buttons not possible
since it cannot move screen to such a large extent. Have even tried
915resolution and auto915resolution - did not help.
System
(Ubuntu 7.10) Viewsonic 17" widescreen LCD monitor (VA1703wb)... original Intel
82945G/GZ motherboard with onboard graphics & sound.
Setup
Monitor set as plugnplay widescreen with 24-70 horizontal range & 50-75
vertical refresh rate.
