Probably the reason that 1680x1050 isn't listed, is that xresprobe's ddcprobe.sh script always drops the highest resolution returned by ddcprobe. For some monitors (esp. true crts), the higher resolutions can be problematic, so it makes sense that the highest one would be dropped, even if that's sort of a crude solution for cases like these.
The reason it's getting detected as crt instead of lcd is because ddcprobe.sh determines this by grepping for "^input: .*digital" from the ddcprobe output. Looking at the raw ddcprobe output, it doesn't seem there's any alternate way of detecting it's an lcd. Fortunately, I don't think there's much functional difference in how Ubuntu configures X for lcds from crts, so this error is probably innocuous. For gutsy, though, you should be able to fix this up post-install by using the Screens and Graphics tool. This bug should be left open though, so we can fix things better in Hardy. ** Changed in: xresprobe (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- 20" Widescreen TFT not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86011 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
