Bug Description

Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk

displayconfig-gtk does not detect the screen resolution correctly. I have a 1400x1050 screen and even when I select the screen manually displayconfig-gtk just offers resolutions up too 1280x800. It works with no issues without xorg.conf.

I have a Radeon 9000 mobility card and use the open source driver.

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make
Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side
effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design
assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we
are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration
tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution
applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing
it.
