I have resolved this issue on a Dell D620 with a 1440x900 display with a GForce 7 Series graphics card in kubuntu / feisty
aptitude install nvidia-glx-new restarted X-Server with the d620 the 16x9 display is not properly detected. under system settings / monitor + display / administrator mode / hardware / monitor #1 I manually selected Generic / "Flat Panel 1440x900" and Image Format to Widescreen 16:9. Apply Changes / restart X Server Under System settings / monitor + display the resolution for 1440x900 was selected. i restarted my x server again and the resolution worked great. I used the following link for the basis for this: http://thoughtworker.in/2007/04/24/kubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-getting- right-resolution/ however i had to install the nvidia-glx-new driver to get this to work. -- [Feisty] Wide screen not correctly detected (16/10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
