Bug#673669: Sorry
I'm honestly way out of my depth here. Does the bug need to be re-submitted? Cannot some of you notify the relevant people, or alter the package that it refers to?
Bug#673669: Any ideas?
Would love to get to the bottom of this. Do you need any more information?
Bug#673669: EDID extracted from proprietary nvidia driver from laptop
(via ubuntu 10.04) is the same as in Xorg.0.log (from debian live cd on laptop) - yet gives accurate resolution choices. I'm really confused.
Bug#673669: Additional info
Forgot to say I have a laptop with VGA out - with an nvidia go 7600 with which I could test the monitor bypassing the DVI>VGA adapter, though my hunch is that the adapter is not the problem. Not only does windows work with the same hardware configuration, but I remember having resolution issues since 2006, when the monitor was being used with a different machine using an ATI video card.
