Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

os: ubuntu gutsy tribe 5 with todays updates
problem: native widescreen resolution 1680x1050 not properly recognized

this issue has originally been reported as bug #133830, where it has been claimed as "fixed" with the release of xorg-server-2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu2. however, the fix is not working - at least for me.

details: according to xorg.0.log the vesa driver is used for my ati card. the tft display is recognized including "additional mode" 1680x1050 with a modeline that has been working fine with an older ati card. however, xorg tells that it can't use this mode because there is "no mode of this name", using 1280x1024 instead. did not find any solution to get the proper resolution working yet.

system specs:

athlon 64x2 4000+
asus m2n-e
ati x1950xt @ pcie
2gb patriot ddr2
sound blaster audigy
hdd, cdr

display: lg l226wtq-sf
