1) Attach your X log and we can be sure that you are using the resolution that 
the monitor reported.  This is one of many problems with DDC/EDID.  People 
don't realize that there isn't a connection between what the display controller 
can do, what the monitor can do, and what the monitor reports that it can do.  
When you chose to use DDC, then you are blindly restricted to what the monitor 
tells you to use.   You *can* use other resolutions, but that will involve 
hacking an xorg.conf file.
2) Xorg -configure works from the GIT tree, so the driver and the X server 
agree on probing the PCI ID at least.  I'm not sure how the detection and 
installation works in Ubuntu, so somebody more knowledgeable then myself will 
need to evaluate that.
3) That is kernel based breakage - it has nothing to do with the X driver
4) Ditto.

Unfortunately, this patch _is_ our simple workaround - all other
workarounds are far more complex.   But I do agree this patch needs more
far more testing - it is still some time away from being added to the
GIT repository, let alone making it into any distros.
