Public bug reported: My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW. It has an optimal resolution of 1680x1050 which Ubuntu 12.04 is not finding. All I get is 1024x768.
I am able to manually set the optimal resolution with the xrandr command although I am still having trouble making it stick through a reboot or relogin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A file called .xsession-errors gets created in my $HOME directory upon each login session. Here is the output from that file.
