[Bug 1197902] [NEW] Display corruption on 29" 2560x1080 monitor

[Anthony Brennan]

Public bug reported:

I have a 29" monitor that supports a native resolution of 2560x1080.
Using the nouveau driver with kernel mode setting correctly set the
resolution of the display, as indicated in the gnome-control-center ->
display configuration utility, but the display appears to running at a
much lower apparent resolution.  Text is almost unreadable, everything
appears incredibly "fuzzy".  I attempted to use the proprietary nvidia
drivers, and after using the nvidia-xconfig utility to generate a
xorg.conf file and restarting the machine it is indeed using the
proprietary driver and hardware acceleration is working, but the fuzzy
condition persists.

I am using Ubuntu 13.04, I have updated all the packages.
