I have the same problem and solve it by putting something like this into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings ($HOME/.Xsession no longer works): xrandr --newmode "1280x1024 SGI" 134.400 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024 SGI" You can get the required numbers with "PowerStrip", a tool for MS Windows. "SGI" is an arbitrary name, "VGA1" (sometimes "VGA") can be found with "xrandr --info", IIRC. These new resolutions then show up in the standard panel for resolution settings and survive reboots. A few versions back (before Jaunty Jackalope) Ubuntu used to find these resolutions it's self. HTH, Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.
