Dell e173fp flat panel screen resolution issues

Bug Description

I have a Dell e173fp 17" LCD flat panel on a Gutsy machine. As far as I can tell this monitor has bad resolution/timing/X info associated with it. It only allows 640x480@50hz resolution. When I change the monitor setting to some other 1280x1024 flat panel in the "Screens and Graphics" panel it seems to work fine.

I've tried this with and without the nvidia restricted driver, it appears to be the same. For reference, video card is a Nvidia 6600.

Problem also occurs with Hardy (and Feisty as well IIRC).

Xorg.0.log Edit (35.6 KiB, text/plain)

No problem, attached file is from an clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 final on this system, before mucking about with the xorg.conf.

Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to this bug, I'm just checking to see if this is still an issue, and find out what additional work should be done on this bug.

Same problem same monitor. Please fix this bug. Why are there so many bugs like this in Ubuntu? Why is it that windows doesn't have these silly issues and ubuntu its almost guaranteed that you are going to be chasing some silly bug or regression with every release. I guess they just don't have the resources to test anything anymore.

Can you please attach the full log from running without the Nvidia proprietary driver? Preferably using Jaunty, or Ubuntu 8.10.
