I completely agree. I had to google up this article to get my 2005FPW working:
http://www.wiredfool.com/2005/06/15/widescreenLcdsAndUbuntuLinux And had to manually add the following line to my xorg.conf: Modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 154.20 1680 1712 2296 2328 1050 1071 1081 1103 as well as changing all display modes. Seriously, how is any linux newbie supposed to figure this out? Widescreen LCD's are getting more and more common and need support from Ubuntu. A quote from the author of the article: "I'm not going to belabor the point that it's 2005 and this is one of the friendlier linux distros that I've dealt with." -- X.org doesn't detect widescreen resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/63551 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
