Comment 13 for bug 49827

I'm still affected by this problem as well. With Ubuntu 7.10 Tribe 5, a daily build of 27 August to be exact, Ubuntu still doesn't choose the right resolution. Installing the NVIDIA driver (nvidia-glx-new) for my NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT didn't change anything, and I had to manually edit xorg.conf to be able to use the 1680 x 1050 resolution on my Dell 2007 WFP 20 inch widescreen monitor, Ubuntu defaults to 1280 x 1024. I'll attach the full output of 'sudo lspci -vvnn', /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log (of course from before I installed the NVIDIA driver or edited xorg.conf). Don't know if it's any use, but I hope so.
