Bug Description

Using the GNOME 2.12 Live cd it takes a too high refreshrate (filed under bug
21200). Another problem that it doesn't use 1920x1200 by default, but 1600x1200
instead. The original Xorg.0.log is attached to bug 21200. I'll attach in this
bug the working Xorg.0.log for 1920x1200 @ 60Hz (added a HorizSync 30-80 to the
monitor section to force it to take 60Hz).

Can you please post the output of ddcprobe? I strongly suspect this is a dupe
of #8757.

yeah, so it is. thanks for following up. if you could attach the output of
get-edid from the read-edid package (it's binary, so you'll need to redirect it
to a file) to that bug, that would be great, thanks.
