While this is not a solution to the problem, I use the following workaround for my day to day work (I use jaunty but with ppa xorg and kernel from karmic):
xrandr --newmode 1680x1050 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -HSync +VSync xrandr --addmode DVI1 1680x1050 xrandr --output VGA --off --output DVI1 --mode 1680x1050 It works, but gnome doesn't see the DVI1 output and thus the gnome panel has an incorrect width and there are a couple of minor glitches. -- [i945] Macbook's DVI out doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
