[Bug 340212] Re: [i965] Bad resolution over HDMI in Jaunty

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Jaroslav, it's not that nobody cares, but there are currently 258 open
bugs only in the intel driver alone and only a handful of people to care
about them. Therefore there are some hard priorities that have to be
done. This close to the release of Jaunty that means that stability
issues have priorities before anything else. Besides, since you report
that it doesn't work in 2.7 either, it has to be fixed upstream before a
patch can be pulled to ubuntu, and it is very unlikely that this can
happen before Jaunty is out.

You obviously care about getting this fixed, and even though most others focus on other things, you can do a number of things to get this fixed later (hopefully early enough that it works with Karmic). 
- Help triage and resolve bugs in ubuntu. This frees up resources for others to sooner look at you favourite bug.
- Test the current upstream development version. If you run ubuntu you can do this by using the xorg-edgers PPA (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers), otherwise you can look at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ for how to get the latest source code from git and compile it yourself. 
- If the bug still exists in git master, report the bug upstream according to the instructions in 
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html . 
This may require some significant investment of your time, but after all, you are the one who cares the most about this and the one who knows this particular bug best. I (and probably others) would be happy to assist as long as it happens in a not so demanding way.

Finally, complaining about people not caring enough about you particular
problem is usually not a good idea (not here nor at other projects). It
just makes people sad and more likely to ignore you.
