Ok - I'm giving up for tonight. My main PC (which hosts the monitor in question) is currently only running Windows because the Edgy Knot 2 CD went so disastrously bad for me on this computer. Knot 3 went great, however (minus this issue) though I opted at the time to wait on Edgy Final before risking this box again which serves lots of purposes including work... hence Windows.
Anyway, after over an hour of playing with modelines from at least 10 different sources I finally gave up and installed fglrx for my ATI X800 card. The 'ati' driver SHOULD work I'd think, but I give up for now. I'm running the Live CD right now at normal resolution for this monitor (1680x1050) but only after setting my Modeline, setting the frequency (60), installing the package xserver-driver-fglrx, running "aticonfig --initial" and restarting gdm. I will try again tomorrow without fglrx. Attached is my working xorg.conf (though with fglrx) ** Attachment added: "Ubuntu Edgy Beta Live CD - xorg.conf modifed but with fglrx instead of ati" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4541050/xorg.conf -- [edgy] Live CD improperly detects widescreen monitor. https://launchpad.net/bugs/59841 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
