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.
