I'm an Nvidia GT 440 user. I can already click on the 1280x1024 option in monitors but as shown in the image below it outputs an error. The message says:The virtual size required doesn't fit the available one,plus it says the maximum size is 1024x768 I tried many things and i ended thinking that the problem could probably be the EDID info,so I installed the package read-edid. When i type
sudo get-edid | parse-edid
it prints this http://pastebin.com/GSnaJDnn
If more explanation is needed I'll post it as fast as i can
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 153 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode) Serial number of failed request: 29 Current serial number in output stream: 30 And in the logfile of Xorg I have encountered this warning Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1 (Which is odd because my monitor is a TFT)

. In particular I'm wondering what driver is being used in your system to run your graphics. – John S Gruber Sep 13 '12 at 15:24P.S:sorry for double-posting – zonck Sep 17 '12 at 11:35
