problem still exists in edgy eft, max res gets set to 1280x1024 rather than 1680x1050, leaving black bars on either side (or stretched). To fix, the user has to edit xorg.conf and add 1680x1050 to the list of acceptable "modes".
I have attached the default xorg.conf created at install, a modified xorg.conf that works, and the Xorg.0.log though a custom modeline isn't needed for it to work, for the sake of completeness the stats for the monitor are located below: http://supportapj.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2005FPW/en/about.htm VESA, 1680 x 1050(DVI) Horizontal Frequency (kHz) 65.3 Vertical Frequency (Hz) 60.0 Pixel Clock (MHz) 146.25 Sync Polarity (Horizontal/Vertical) -/+ ** Attachment added: "(xorg.conf.default) (xorg.conf.modified) (Xorg.0.log)" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5053067/ubuntu_bug_6095.tar.gz -- Dell 2005fpw defaults to 1280*1024 instead of native resolution of 1680*1050 https://launchpad.net/bugs/6095 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
