Glad I could help 3vil. It's a shame that there's no mechanism for ordinary people to achieve the same thing, for whom manually editing xorg.conf is a step too far. After all it only takes three gui fields and a go button! All the other tools are already in place - gtf, gnome resolution config, et

@Cefn: Thank you very much for posting the gtf command and xorg changes! I ran into this issue today while attaching a machine to a KVM and could not get it to work until I saw your workaround. It's pretty frustrating when the GUI gives you no options other than 320x240 and 640x480 because DPMS

Sebastien, I disagree that this is an xorg issue, since xorg can handle the scenario fine. When autodetection works, it reports the valid modes which are detected. When autodetection doesn't work, it's got no choice but to await a manual specification of a valid mode since it has no way of knowi

if the xrandr command line doesn't list those modes too the issue is rather an xorg one, the xrand interface should list some choices which make sense in such cases, that's not specific to the GNOME GUI ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gnome-control-center => xorg-server

The graphical tools DO list the same options as the xrandr command. That means that if the autodetection has failed to identify a valid mode by autodetection, you are screwed unless you like to edit xorg.conf. Then these options show up in xrandr and in the graphical tool. To fix the problem I had

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 a

As you say, with a splitter and multiple monitors attached, this is beyond X's autodetection capabilities. It sounds like your request is to have a functionality in the GUI tool for manually specifying settings in this case, so I'm reassigning to the GUI tool. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center
