I have a similar problem, i'll write about it here because its unnecessary to write up a new bugreport about it.
I have an Acer AL1916W widescreen TFT display and it should be set to 1440x900 but its set to 1440x1440 every time i install Ubuntu Dapper/Edgy. Card: Nvidia GeForce 6150 Driver: vesa (should be nv) Monitor : Acer AL1916W Resolution : 1440x1440 (should be 1440x900) -- Wide screen not correctly detected (16/10) https://launchpad.net/bugs/67369 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
