I have my monitor hard-coded in my xorg.conf file (that's how I fixed it with proprietary nvidia driver with ubuntu) with the following: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "DELL U2211H" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection The resolution is set at 1024x768, and xrandr shows that has the highest setting available. The video card is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV43GL [Quadro FX 540] (rev a2) I'm running archlinux with the latest xorg server. I'm using the nouveau driver. I really don't want to install the proprietary driver, but 1024x768 on a monitor that normally is at 1920x1080 is rather painful for getting work done. I have nouveau-dri and xf86-video-nouveau installed.
Created attachment 61075 [details] Additional info on machine (lspci, xorg onc and log, xrandr, dmesg).
I seem to have the same issue. I am using Ubuntu. Up to version 11.10 the nvidia blob was able to run the Philips 240S at 1920*1200. It took required to tell to nvidia not to perform the check on max pixel rate. Somehow the 240S seems to report to different values: one of 135M and one of 175M. I guess nvidia reject the mode initially as it would not fit into 135M pixel clock. So I turned of the check and created a modeline resulting in a pixel clock of about 155M, worked nice. After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.4 the high resolution was gone. Ubuntu appears now to use the nouveau driver. The resolution is degraded to 1440*900. While entering this I see that xrandr offers 1280*1024, the GUI tool to set the resolution doesn't show that one. Anyway, the correct resolution 1920*1200 disappeared... Please let me know if I need to put this ticket into Ubuntu first, but I added to this one as I am using same nvidia hardware as the person that started this bug report. But I guess some more info may help. So below I provide what I believe is relevant. Oops, I need to shorten (65535 limit). The full text is added as attachment, s available. Let me know if more is needed.

I got this working by removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then running the following in my .xinitrc: xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1920x1080_60.00 xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1920x1080_60.00 exec openbox-session
