Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 and running into problems getting my second LCD configured for its native resolution of 1440x900.
Primary display is my IBM ThinkPad X41's 1024x768 LCD, the external display is a 19" wide-screen Acer AL1916W. The Acer is connected to the ThinkPad's VGA port (Intel 915GM, I think).
Now using the new screen resolution applet on 8.10, the only 16:9 resolution that is offered is 1360x768, it is not possible to select 1440x900.
Attached please find the output of `lspci --vvnn` and `dmesg`.
Please let me know if you require any more information about my system - thanks!

Hi,
Does the "xrandr" command show the correct resolution for your external
monitor?
Please attach the output of running "xrandr" from the command line here.
Please also attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and your /var/log/ Xorg.0. log.
Thanks,
James
