Bug Description

This applies to gutsy version of xorg-server (1.3.0):

When connecting the flatpanel monitor Samsung 225BW, X does not use the preferred mode of 1680x1050.

There is already a patch for this bug in upstream:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10814

I tried to patch the gutsy patched sources, but I have problems with the dependencies (build fails). So I request hereby to implement this patch from upstream, so the next available built will work fine with the 225BW. Thanks!

The server for gutsy might be yet-to-be-released 1.4, which includes this fix. Hopefully a prerelease version can be uploaded soon.

Will this bug be resolved in 7.10 final? It still exists in 7.10 beta. For me, it is a showstopper!

Forget that last comment, surprisingly it works with Kubuntu 7.10 beta ...

Hi Gero,

I committed several quirks for samsung in the past few weeks, although I don't know if this one got covered. Can you check and test if Gutsy-final works properly for you now?

I suspect this was fixed in Gutsy so since it's been >1 month with no reply, I'm going to go ahead and close it. Please reopen if it's still happening.
