Public bug reported: I remember when I was connecting my laptop to my TV (via VGA) using earlier Ubuntu releases, I was offered to run it using it's native resolution (1368 by 768 or something like that). Now under Oneiric, I'm only offered 800x600 and 1024x768, which is unsatisfying. Running xrandr --verbose reveals that the laptop doesn't seem to receive the EDID information from the TV.
