Thanks for posting this bug notice. Yes, I too have the issue. I'm using one of those infernal integrated Motherboards (has AGP video and sound, etc., integrated). I think it is an intel video set. Ubuntu does allow my monitor to run at 1024 by 768, but doesn't recognize it and lists it as "Unknown." Further, when I run video tests on the gnome desktop via the Administration > Test Hardware program, it does test correctly and set up my monitor w/ 85 mhz setting (correct, I believe). However, it does "offset" the image slightly from windows xp's settings (the image drifts right about a quarter to half inch under linux -- I use the same monitor hooked to two machines using a switchbox).

I'd appreciate this being fixed. Using the older Linux versions, I could just TELL Linux to use a Diamondtron (or was it Gateway?) monitor.

Needs to be fixed next time out. Loving Ubuntu, so don't get me wrong.
