whereiswaldo's Journal: Ubuntu monitor support

I've been a big fan of Ubuntu for several years but until recently never had a problem with monitor support.

Apparently someone has removed the ability to hand-tweak monitor settings, therefore relying solely on Ubuntu's monitor detection abilities for determining available screen resolutions, refresh rate, etc. Unfortunately, when it can't detect a monitor, the user is left with no reasonable recourse but to move on to another operating system! That is what I have been forced to do on two systems now. So it looks like I will be returning to Fedora Linux which supports my monitors nicely.

I hope Ubuntu fixes this problem - looking at the forums there is no shortage of public outcry.
