Comment 5 for bug 83934

Yes, I do still have my Dell 1680x1050 monitor.

With the latest Feisty code (and after restarting the computer), I am still seeing exactly the same problem -- namely, when I go to 1680x1050 (with the help of 915resolution), the left and right edges of the 1680x1050 screen display are chopped off and I still see only 1280x1024. No change AT ALL from what I reported last week.

The effect is as if the computer is trying to treat the screen as if it were 1680x1050, but the video card is still driving the monitor at 1280x1024, and portions of what is theoretically on the 1680x1050 screen -- specifically, the leftmost and rightmost 200-pixel-wide strips -- are not being shown on the monitor. The taskbar along the bottom edge of the display also does not show up.

Stated another way (since this probably sounds very confusing), when I try to go to 1680x1050 mode, it's as if my screen is being overlaid by a mask that is only 1280x1024, and those portions of the 1680x1050 display which don't fit within that 1280x1024 mask are simply not being shown.
