[Bug 321230] [NEW] 1680x1050 Stopped working.

[indigo42]

Public bug reported:

Hello,
This is my first bug report. I hope this is the right area to enter the info. 
I installed 8.10 on my Dell D620 Laptop with intel graphics card. 
I am running docked with lid closed.
My external monitor will handle 1680x1050.

I had installed the backported drivers as recommended in Bug 278259. 
I could then use.

xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050

To set the correct resolution. I had to do this every time I started up.

This now does not work. The only thing I can think of is that it's
related to me installing MPlayer. I have reinstalled the intel-gfx-
testing package again, but alas...no dice.

I tried the following...notice that my highest display is only 1360x768.
<terminal snip>
Generate Modeline
john at john-laptop:~$ gtf 1680 1050 60

  # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz
  Modeline "1680x1050_60.00"  147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsync

Then run xrandr with the mode line.
xrandr --newmode "1680x1050"  147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsync

Now it shows up but does not belong to any of the displays.
john at john-laptop:~$ xrandr -q

        v: height 1050 start 1051 end 1054 total 1087           clock   60.0Hz


Add it to the display
xrandr --addmode VGA 1680x1050

Now we can see it is added to our external VGA display.
john at john-laptop:~$ xrandr -q

john at john-laptop:~$ 
</terminal snip>

It says my new mode is higher than my output now. This used to work 2 days ago.
Thanks in advance!

John
