@Andreas Schildbach: Actually, I've looked at the output for ddcprobe on my laptop and it doesn't match my laptop's specifications or what xrandr outputs either. I'm not sure it's an effective tool for our usage. I looked up your laptop (Dell latitude X1), and I saw that it indeed has a 1280x768 screen. What I'm seeing in your X logs tells me that X thinks the 1024x768 screen is not possible based on your laptop's EDID table:
(II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) ...

That may tell us some more information as to why jaunty's X server thinks 1024x768 is valid, but karmic's X server does not. -- [i915gm] Intel/KMS: Missing 1024 x 768 mode (regression from Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
