Public bug reported:
Type: Crt monitor
Model: ViewSonic G75f
Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce 6100 (on board)
Standard resolution: 1024x768
Maximum detected by: Ubuntu 800x600
Bug since: 6.10 (was working fine with earlier versions)
Comment: Everything look too big for this screen, usage as a learning
tool in this computer science lab (85 of those monitor) is almost
impracticable. We still use 6.06LTS release but want to upgrade. Is it
possible to disable the maximum resolution for this monitor. It will be
by default 1800 by ? (maximal resolution of the GeForce 6100 card) but
it will be better than 800x600 because we will be able to adjust the
resolution. It is possible after installing few packages and tweak
xorg.conf to use 1024x768, but for a student, new to Linux, these tweak
are not easy nor helping them to adopt Ubuntu as their primary operating
system.
