I'm referring to your request a few hours ago...
"can you force the resolution using the xrandr command line tool?"

Yes you can force it using xrandr, assuming that you have edited
xorg.conf properly. I've carried out these steps and proven that you can
force the correct resolution regardless of auto-detection, through a KVM
which suppresses the ordinary auto-detection signals.

My suggestion is to permit users to manually specify modes in the
graphical tool, and have the gnome screen resolution tool make the
required changes to xorg.conf just as it does today with virtual
resolution. It's to add this feature to the ubuntu environment that the
original request was about - not having to manually edit xorg.conf. It's
for this reason I'd like to keep the bug open and provide any maintainer
with more information about the request.
