Here's a better thread discussing the problem: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/525287/linux/non-native-resolutions-not-available-in-3xx-drivers-on-8700m-gt/
It appears that nVidia is aware of and has no intention to correct the issue, so a workaround from ubuntu or the xorg folks may be the only solution.. I would just recommend the nouveau driver if it weren't for the overheating issues (#858265). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1105392 Title: Non-native screen resolutions unavailable when using nVidia proprietary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1105392/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
