Public bug reported:
When using a GeForce 8600GT from nVidia with Ubuntu, I experience some issues
when I try to use the resolution 1440x900.
Resolutions above and beneath like 1280x800 and 1680x1050 are working just
fine. When I select 1440x900, whichever tool or method I use, the screen
becomes dark. There is still a display of my desktop, but so extreme dark that
I can hardly see it.
I know the issue lies with Ubuntu and the GeForce 8600.
I have tried with a GeForce 4 and 5 (FX) on the same computer and screen
without any problems.
I have also tried the GeForce 8600 with Fedora 7 and 8, OpenSuse 10.3 and
Mandriva 2007. Neither one of them had any problems when selecting the 1440x900
resolution.
Now, I experienced this problem with Ubuntu 7.10, 7.04 and I hoped that this
would be fixed in the upcoming 8.04
But now I have tried the 8.04RC and I get the same problem.
