** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex is installed on a dell optiplex 270 using only onboard graphics. Screen is a 17" dell flat panel monitor model FP1707. The os was originally installed while intrepid was in the alpha stage. It has been steadily upgraded through the other stages of alpha, beta and is now at the release candidate level. Fire up 'Monitor Resolution Settings' from System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution Available screen resolutions displayed are 1360 x 768 1152 x 864 1024 x 768 ** 800 x 600 640 x 480 1024 x 768 is detected as the optimal setting and is used by default. Several problems with this. The montior's optimal setting is 1280 x 1024. Selection of 1360 x 768 is not well supported by the monitor and makes desktop practically unusable. so: 1) possible resolutions that monitor can display are not detected 2) optimal resolution is not correctly detected 3) sub-optimal resolution detected and made available + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface [8086:2570] (rev 02) + Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0151] + 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2572] (rev 02) + Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0151]
