In Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" finally this problem can be overcome by entering
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
which will replace the default xserver-xorg-video-i810 (with broken EDID/DDC)
and properly auto-detect at least 1680*1050 DVI TFTs.
This comes with a plethora of (ignored) warnings on install, though
(that the next user to try out this driver is asked to post here for
everyone to "enjoy"), and somewhat confusingly leaves the original
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (still mentioning the removed driver) in place:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics
Controller"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
In other words, the default (including Live CD) configuration is not
usable at physical resolution with standard widescreen monitors on
integrated Intel graphics, and even now that there is a workaround
(alternate driver), this is hard to find for the average user.

1680*1050 etc. cannot be set in spite of 915resolution - DDC failure over
DVI(-ADD)?
