For those, who cannot wait for this bug being solved, below comes the monitor section for xorg.conf which worked perfectly on my configuration (Laptop +external monitor connected via VGA cable):
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Samsung" Option "IgnoreEDID" "True" Option "RightOf" "Configured Monitor" modeline "1920x1200-60" 154.128 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 +hsync -vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200-60" Option "dpms" Gamma 1.0 EndSection However this does mean that in future versions of Ubuntu we will have the same problem until someone smart enough will fix this bug with wrong EDID. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289467 Title: Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM support -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
