Dave Gilbert, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg 975175 Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I've got two entirely distinct set ups that won't do the 1366x768 that the monitor/display is capable of over VGA; I suspect this is related to the discussion here: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/8705.html which describes how EDID can't represent 1366 pixels wide. The two setups I have are: 11.10 with a modern Intel graphics integrated VGA (on chip) to a Panasonic TV via VGA, it's native res is 1366x768 12.04 with an ancient Geforce 2 (NV11) to a new Samsung B1930N monitor, again native res of 1366x768 (with Nouveau drivers) I think the best the 11.10 managed with the panasonic was 800x600 out of the box, and the best that 12.04 managed with the Samsung was 1024x768. In both cases there are no options in the Gnome display settings to get it closer. Unfortunately the work around is non-trivial; you have to add a modeline with xrandr - and I've not managed to find a modeline that works for both; so it's a lot of fiddling. Given 1366x768 displays aren't uncommon I think there needs to be something to help people with this; I'm not sure what the right answer is though! There are a whole chunk of bugs with notebooks with this resolution on internal displays - and I'm not sure if that's the same or a separate issue.
