Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

This is with Kubuntu Intrepid alpha5 with the latest updates.
X fails to detect and properly configure my Compaq 7500 monitor. This leaves me with 1024x768 being the highest possible resolution available, when 1280x1024 is in reality the highest.

Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver-xorg-video-nv. Starting
with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver
by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because
upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We are
quite pleased with the upstream development speed for -nouveau, and hope
this will translate into swifter bug fixes as well.

Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking
it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we
do not have further plans to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like
to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it
upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
