Ok so I think I was wrong on the last post... the relevant package seems to be 'screen-resolution-extra' Don't take my word on this, I am just trying to get to the bottom of this problem... The Jaunty source: $ apt-get source screen-resolution-extra The Ubuntu trunk: $ bzr get http://bazaar.

It seems as if the Gnome team do not take this bug very seriously. Would it be inappropriate to develop a patch for Ubuntu that may or may not be pushed upstream in the future? On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 12:54 PM, Sandro Mani wrote: > Here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137473 (you can f
