I can confirm this. I've been having the same problem. All I've had to do though was install the 915resolution package, and it worked. I didn't even have to configure anything. (I've got a Gateway MX1023 notebook/laptop.)
There is a lot more information about this issue on that tool's web site: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ I'm not sure if it's too late to get this update in before the release. If it's not too late, then this package should be installed automatically if appropriate. -- X.org doesn't detect widescreen resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/63551 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
