My problem turned out to be similar, it was the cable which must've not been up to spec. I ended up buying a much higher quality cable which got rid of the noise problem and let me enjoy 1680x1050 for a while, until for some reason that resolution just decided to stop working :\ .
Definitely won't be going to any small Asian computer shops for a while, the previous Asian computer shop I went to installed a really cheap, crappy LCD screen in to my laptop, it just looked piss-poor, so I made them order an HP one :) , had to pay a bit more though. -- MASTER: EDID fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
