Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: wishlist
(patch follows)
Ive found that current versions of xserver-xfree86 on Debian are capable
of detecting the 1280x768 native resolution of my sceptre display via
DDC. This option is missing however from the list of available modes in
the template for dpkg-configure.
Ive submitted a patch (diff -u) below to add this to the template.

Works nicely. If I leave all modes out, X detects some higher
resolution (lcd firmware bug) so I need to be able to select the native
resolution via dpkg-configure. Might also include 1600x1024 ;-)
Thanks :)
