bazookatoothi'm having a problem... i have two Dell Monitors. one at home, and one at work. both are 21 inch widescreens, but different models. at home, my ubuntu laptop works perfectly when i hook it up to the monitor. at work, its unusable. i've tried every driver (fglrx, ati, radeon) to no avail.. and only three resolution options show up in the gui config -- even though i changed all of them to 1680 x 1050 in the xorg.conf...

TheSheepbazookatooth: two things come to mind: 1) you could specify the refresh rates in xorg, 2) you could check if your graphics card has enough memory for larger modes (some card use the RAM, you set how much in bios)06:52
bazookatoothrefresh rates should probably be.....06:53
bazookatoothit only gives me the option of 6006:54
loswiliosignore eid (or whatever it is called)06:54
loswiliosmaybe the monitor reports wrong values06:54
bazookatoothyeah, on the work monitor.. it is move off to the right06:55
bazookatoothand when i get it fitting correctly, its really blurry06:55
bazookatoothat home... dell.. same size. plug and play, beautiful06:55
Jester45my moniter did that after the upgrade from edgy to fiesty its sifted about an 1 inch to the left so there is a black bar on the right but it i turn the moniter off and back on it fixes06:57
