Comment 35 for bug 194760

Another Edid failure. This is on a new Dell Vostro 1720 with nVidia 9600M GS video card with 1920x1200 Premium display and a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty" (also applies to Ubuntu). I can only access 1920x1200x24 bit video. Fine for daily use, but no good for gaming when a lower resolution is needed.
