I'm very much in agreement. The graphical tools in Ubuntu are very important to make system configuration changes available to ordinary users.
I'm here looking at a 1440x900 screen which I know for sure is capable of that resolution, but because the auto-detect doesn't work, (through a KVM), I'm unable to set that resolution. I'm limited to a set of resolutions which are wholly inappropriate even for the aspect ratio of the monitor. I don't see why Ubuntu only permits modelines to be detected automatically, and doesn't provide a tool for overriding them by authoring your own settings when you know what they are, or even just to test out different ones to see if they work. Dropping into xorg.conf is the geek's answer but what about the rest of us? -- Unable to force screen resolution with vtswitch/splitter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260436 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
