[Problem]
On this i845 card, it would support a resolution of 1280x1024 via xrandr as of Ubuntu Karmic Alpha-2, but now it only goes to 1024x768.

It does not seem to be due to a phantom output.  The DDC shows 1280x1024 should be available, whereas the probed modes show a max of 1024x768.

[Original Report]
My monitor/video card support a max resolution of 1280x1024, but xrandr or any GUI resolution configuration tool (most likely frontends for xrandr) cannot see any resolutions above 1024x768 (see below).

I should also note that I was able to xrandr too 1280x1024 from a fresh Karmic alpha2, even if it didn't do 1280x1024 by default. Once I applied all the latest updates and rebooted, I could no longer set the resolution to 1280x1024.
